WHO BUYS FROM IT

 The DBE certification is primarily used to procure products and services related to state highway, street and bridge construction or maintenance contracts. These contracts are typically funded by the federal government, but governed by the individual state programs. There are also transit and airport contracts available to DBE’s as well, if funded by the federal DOT.

WHO SHOULD GET ONE

DBE certifications are most often obtained by companies in these industries:

  • Concrete
  • Dump Truck & Roll-off Companies
  • Construction
  • Road Work
  • Civil Engineering
  • A&E Firms
  • Trucking/Transportation
  • Building materials
  • Parking Lot contractors
  • Companies that have been asked by their prime to obtain a DBE

BENEFITS

PRIME CONTRACTING

The primary goal of the DBE program is to offer small, diverse businesses a fair opportunity to compete on federally funded transportation contracts. For this reason, DOT contracts can be strictly set-aside for DBE firms, or give preference to DBE bidders.

SUBCONTRACING

Possibly the best benefit of all to small businesses, DOT contracts have endless subcontracting goals. Many times, large primes are often needed to handle the workload of the government, especially with large highway and bridge projects. For this reason, most of these large projects have mandatory participation goals from DBE-certified contractors. This is the single easiest way to grow your business in the government market as a contractor.
