A socially (minority and/or woman) and economically disadvantaged certification for vendors looking to do business with their state’s Department of Transportation
Issued by each state’s Department of Transportation, the DBE certification is a priceless tool for the right businesses, If your business’s products or services can be used by the DOT (including airports and transit programs), or on highway, street, and bridge contracts, than it is a no brainer. Be eligible for, and receive more state government contracts and subcontracts than ever before.
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.
DBE certifications are most often obtained by companies in these industries:
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.
