DBE - Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program

The Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages the development and use of companies owned and controlled by minorities, women, and socially and economically disadvantaged individuals on federally-aided highway construction projects. The companies can be contractors, suppliers, or manufacturers with capabilities in the transportation industry. In order to participate in the program, the companies must be annually certified by the North Dakota Department of Transportation. Under the program, select contracts are assigned percentage goals, based on the total dollar amount of the contract, for participation by certified DBE firms. The prime contractor must meet the assigned DBE goal or prove that sufficient good faith efforts were made in an attempt to meet the goal.
