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.
We’ve put together a comprehensive list of state that are actively accepting new applications for DBE certifications – updated every Monday.

We can help with any level of the DBE process – whether you’re just getting into this sector, or need assistance maintaining your current certification status.
 The DBE certification is used by all DOT-funded agencies throughout the state governments, and even trickles down to cities and counties. If you have an interest in working in the following sectors, then the DBE is a must-have:
DBE certifications are most often obtained by companies interested in, or looking to business with the following agencies:
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.
