Disadvantaged Business Enterprises
The objectives of a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program are to ensure nondiscrimination in the award and administration of federally-funded contracts in highway, transit, and airport financial assistance programs and to create a level playing field on which DBEs can compete fairly for federally-funded contracts.
