The race neutral DBE Program applies to any contract awarded by the Department and Local Agencies with federal funding. These are commonly known throughout the Department as Federal aid projects or contracts or US DOT assisted projects or contracts. It is important to note that the race neutral DBE program has absolutely no impact on wholly state-funded contracts awarded by the Department, nor does it impact other State of California legislatively enacted preference programs like the Small Business Preference, the Recycled Paper Preference, the Target Area Contract Preference Act, etc. It also does not affect wholly State funded contracts with Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) contract participation goals. The race neutral DBE Program also has no impact on any wholly local agency funded contracts awarded by the Department or local agencies.
