A DBE Certification is a transformative credential designed to level the playing field for businesses owned and operated by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals. Endorsed by the Department of Transportation (DOT) and applicable across multiple states and municipal entities, this certification invites small businesses to compete fairly for federally funded transportation-related projects.
Government Services Exchange (GSE) specializes in empowering businesses like yours to navigate the certification process, opening doors to lucrative contracts, and fostering robust partnerships.
Access to Exclusive Contracts
The DBE Certification unlocks a reservoir of federally funded contracts expressly set aside for certified participants, boosting your visibility and chance to bid on substantial projects.
Competitive Edge
With DBE status, you’ll stand out in the competitive bidding process, appealing to prime contractors and government agencies as an asset—not just another subcontractor.
Network Expansion
Gain allegiance with a vibrant community of DBE firms, industry experts, and government officials. Interconnect with mentors, tap into training resources, and receive invitations to specialized industry events.
Tailored Support and Resources
Benefit from DOT’s supportive services, including assistance with bonding, capital financing, business development, and more—resources tailored to bolster your firm’s capacity.
To qualify for the DBE Certification, your business must meet these fundamental criteria:
Ownership
Your business must be at least 51% owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals.
Control
Those individuals must have both the expertise and the authority to directly control the firm’s operations and management.
Disadvantaged Status
Disadvantaged owners must have a personal net worth that does not exceed a set threshold, ensuring the certification aids those it’s intended to serve.
Small Business Dimension
Your firm must meet the Small Business Administration’s (SBA) size criteria and possess reasonable gross receipts.
Independence and Viability
The business must operate independently and be a viable, ongoing entity.
