Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DOT Assisted Projects only)

What is the Disabled Business Enterprise (DBE) Program?
The DBE program applies to contracts for projects funded in whole or in part by US government and/or the NC DOT. DBE is defined by the United States Department of Commerce as a business at least 51 percent owned and controlled by minority group members or women. A DBE is bona fide only if the minority group or female ownership interests are real and continuing and not created solely to meet DBE percentage goals. In addition, to fulfill the purpose of participation, the DBE must itself perform work or services or provide supplies under contract and not act as a mere conduit. In short, the contractual relationship must be bona fide.

For purposes of the DBE Program, minority group members are Women, Black Americans, Hispanic Americans, Pacific Rim Asian Americans and American Indians.

For more information, please refer to the U.S. Department of Transportation’s web site.
Application for Certification –
The City of Concord does not certify a business as a DBE. If you are seeking certification for a new business you are directed to the State’s Historically Underutilized Businesses (HUB) web site. You may certify at the State’s HUB department and that certification will be recognized in the City of Concord.
