We’ve had this type of incentive done in hiring business for city/state work.
The result is often a 3 person “middle-man” company consisting of a majority-women-owned paper company that hires the regular companies doing the actual work. The incentives are just a payoff to certain people.
Sometimes it was done by putting the company in the name of the wives of the owners. I worked for one of those a couple times.

I know this is the case for at least one of the “women-owned” companies that we have as a customer.
