Frequently Asked Questions

DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) and ACDBE (Airport Concessions Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) certification is a government designation that helps businesses owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals gain access to federal and state contracting opportunities. This certification is particularly beneficial for businesses in transportation, construction, and airport concessions industries.

To be eligible for DBE/ACDBE certification, businesses must meet certain criteria, including: 

• Ownership and control by a socially and economically disadvantaged individual (such as a minority, woman, or person with a disability). 

• The business must be a for-profit entity, with at least 51% ownership by the disadvantaged individual(s). 

• The personal net worth of the owner must not exceed $1.32 million (for DBE) or $1.32 million (for ACDBE), excluding the value of their business and primary residence. 

• Increased contracting opportunities: Certification opens doors to both government and private sector contracts that are reserved for certified DBEs/ACDBEs. 

• Greater market visibility: Your business becomes more visible to larger corporations, government agencies, and primes that seek certified partners.
