How does DBE certification help my firm get RTA business?
The Office of Business Development (OBD) reviews contracts to determine whether they present opportunities for DBEs. Based on federal guidelines, the OBD may set goals for the participation of DBEs on a contract, help the prime contractor find qualified DBE subcontractors, and monitor the performance of the prime contractor to ensure that it is using good faith efforts to meet participation goals. When a contract is ready to bid, OBD identifies available qualified DBE firms and make available a list of eligible DBE firms seeking bids.
