Malcolm Ali, known widely as Mr. Purchase Order, is a government procurement expert, business strategist, and advocate for Black economic empowerment. With over a decade of experience in public contracting, he has influenced more than $500 million in awarded contracts across city, county, and state agencies.
He is the founder of ProcureForce, Inc., where he helps small businesses, minority-owned firms, and everyday hustlers unlock the power of government contracts. Malcolm brings firsthand knowledge from his years as a purchasing manager, offering the kind of insight most consultants can’t replicate.
He is also the author behind the Hustla’s Guide book series, including TrapGPT: The Hustla’s Guide to AI and Big BIDness: The Hustla’s Guide to Government Contracts. These books flip complex systems into street-smart playbooks that empower entrepreneurs to win with strategy, structure, and technology.
A proud father and co-founder of SOMO Apparel, a youth-led T-shirt brand launched with his daughter Morgan, Malcolm infuses family, legacy, and community into every venture. His work has been featured in business accelerators, national conferences, government trainings, and community programs focused on closing the wealth gap through ownership and opportunity.
Whether he is leading a masterclass, building automation systems, or helping business owners register their first SAM.gov profile, Malcolm shows up with a clear mission. He is committed to helping others turn hustle into long-term wealth by mastering the systems that control the bag.
