What is the DBE Certification Program?

The DBE Certification is a program administered by the U.S Department of Transportation. The purpose of the DBE Certification program is to remedy past and current discriminatory practices against certain groups of individuals in obtaining government contracts. The DBE Certification Program provides a level playing field so that members of these groups can bid on contracts that only businesses with a DBE Certification can bid on.

Companies who have obtained a DBE Certification are able to bid on contracts with the various highway agencies, airports, transit authorities and a number of other state agencies who receive funding from the Department of Transportation. These contracts are only available to companies who have obtained their DBE Certification.

The uniqueness of the DBE Certification program is that the contracts that you will be bidding on are only available to companies who have received their DBE Certification. Government contracts that require DBE certification can be worth anywhere from a few thousand dollars to several millions of dollars.

At Kleiner & Cazeau, we have experience representing clients obtain their DBE certification. If your company is interested in applying for the DBE certification program please contact us at (305) 517-1392 ext. 102.
