DBE Supportive Services

The Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (PennDOT) is seeking an Offeror to administer a comprehensive and effective Disadvantaged Business Enterprise/Supportive Services (DBE/SS) and Mentor Protege Programs (MPP). The primary purpose of the DBE/SS program is to increase the total number of minority and women owned business enterprises participating in the Federal-aid highway program. This shall be achieved by providing training, services, and assistance for these businesses to grow, become self-sufficient, become more competitive in pursuing federally funded contract opportunities and move into non-traditional areas of work and compete in the marketplace beyond the DBE program. The percentage of DBE participation will not be specified for this project, but the Selected Offeror will still be required to make a good faith effort to identify, solicit and use subcontractors certified under the DBE
