DBE Comprehensive Step-by-Step Business & Personal Net Worth Application

$2,397

If your firm is NOT for-profit, then you do NOT qualify for this program and should not fill out this application.

Should I apply?
You may be eligible to participate in the DBE/ACDBE program if:
• The firm is a for-profit business that performs or seeks to perform transportation related work (or a concession
activity) for a recipient of Federal Transit Administration, Federal Highway Administration, or Federal Aviation
Administration funds.
• The firm is at least 51% owned by a socially and economically disadvantaged individual(s) who also controls it.
• The firm’s disadvantaged owners are U.S. citizens or lawfully admitted permanent residents of the U.S.
• The firm meets the Small Business Administration’s size standard and DBE/ACDBE size standard

The Department's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) program is designed to remedy ongoing discrimination and the continuing effects of past discrimination in federally-assisted highway, transit, airport, and highway safety financial assistance transportation contracting markets nationwide.


What does DBE stand for?
Disadvantaged Business Enterprise.

 

What are the program’s goals?
Expanding business opportunities for minority and woman-owned companies on federally-funded transportation projects.

 
How would DBE certification help my business?
DBE certification helps you compete for contracts on federally funded transportation projects. Federal law guarantees DBEs prompt payment of undisputed invoices. Your firm can also receive supportive services for free or at a reduced cost.

 
Does my business need DBE certification to bid on federally funded highway projects?
No. But since prime contractors seek to meet federal equal opportunity goals on such projects, certification levels the playing field and helps small minority- and woman-owned businesses compete against larger, equally-qualified bidders.
 

Do DBEs as the prime contractor on a project meet the project's federal minority-inclusion goals?
Yes, so long as the prime contractor is certified as a DBE and not a subcontractor.

REFUNDS ARE NOT GIVEN AFTER PAYMENT.
