To maintain DBE certification

  • Every year, each Socially and Economically Disadvantaged Owner (SEDO) relied upon for DBE eligibility must complete, sign, and submit the Declaration of Eligibility (DOE) form during the firm's Certification Anniversary month certifying they are still eligible to be a certified DBE.
    • This DOE form must be filled out and submitted during the month the DBE was first certified.
    • The DBE must also submit their prior year federal business tax returns, or a signed statement from the company's accountant, or signed statement of verification from the company's bookkeeper
    • Firms can and will be decertified if they fail to submit this documentation.
  • Certified DBEs are required to notify the DBE office in writing within 30 days of changes in circumstances that could affect their eligibility to qualify for DBE certification, or changes to the information provided in their application, including changes to ownership and contact information.
    • Notify the DBE office of changes using the DBE Change to Business form
    • Failing to notify the DBE office of changes in circumstances can result in decertification.

To request additional North American Industry Classification System

(NAICS) Codes

  • In-state firms: Complete a Work Area Expansion Request form to request authorization to perform a different type of work for DBE credit. The business must demonstrate the ability to perform this type of work.
  • Interstate firms: Contact the DBE office to request an expansion of DBE certification.
    • If the firm is already certified in additional work areas by their state DBE agency, the firm is only required to submit proof of certification. (For example, a copy of the approval letter.)

    • A certified DBE installs guardrail for the WIS 36 Burlington Bypass

    • If another state has not approved the DBE for the additional work areas, the firm must complete and submit the Work Area Expansion Request form.
  • In order to receive DBE credit toward the contract goal or overall goals, the DBE must be certified for the type of work it intends to perform.
