Firms must be SBE- or DBE-certified prior to bid submission to be considered for participation toward any SBE contract goal. Post-bid certification concerns must be addressed and approved by the DBELO.
Businesses that are currently DBE-certified with the Louisiana Unified Certification Program (www.LAUCP.org) are presumed eligible to participate but must submit an SBE Affidavit of Certification Eligibility. Businesses that are owned by minorities or women and that are not currently DBE-certified must submit a complete DBE Certification application to an LAUCP certifying agency with all supporting documentation.
Certification by the State/Local Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program (SLDBE) Program does not automatically qualify a firm for either DBE or SBE status. Small and disadvantaged businesses seeking to participate in the DBE or SBE programs must have DBE certification through a member of the LAUCP and/or SBE certification through the NORTA.
Only the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority (NORTA) and the Louisiana Department of Transportation (LA DOTD) are processing SBE certification applications, at this time. Visit NORTA’s small business program website for more information and application documents: www.norta.com -> Business Center -> Small Business and DBE. Visit LADOTD’s SBE Program page at: www.dotd.la.gov -> Business -> DBE -> Small Business Element.
