For doing business with cities, counties and state government agencies
For doing business with the State DOT agencies, airports, shipping ports and local public works
There is another state certification available for woman-owned firms – a DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) certification. A woman & minority certification used specifically for state DOT and DOT sub-agencies. These agencies include airports; shipping ports; public transportation agencies (county bus programs & subways); and all highway, street and bridge-related contracts. If your company’s offerings have any applicability in these areas, then the DBE is a great addition to your business toolbox.
For doing business with the federal government
Female-run businesses looking to take it a step further and contract with the federal government can obtain an SBA WOSB or EDWOSB dependent on their industry. The federal WOSB program is accepted by military and federal agencies nationwide, each agency having a 5% spending goal annually. Additionally, EDWOSB and WOSB firms see subcontracting opportunities when primes obtain larger federal & defense contracts.
Private-sector WBE for use on Corporate Supplier diversity programs
For the businesses who are looking to expand contracting in the private-sector, especially with larger corporations/Fortune 500 companies, the WBENC (Women’s Business Enterprise National Council) WBE is the easiest route to get you there. Being the nation’s largest private-sector woman-owned business certification, the WBENC WBE is built for firms looking to participate in Suppler Diversity programs with large corporations.
