Firms that are qualified and interested in pursuing opportunities to participate in U.S. DOT-assisted projects must be formally approved as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) through the Pennsylvania Unified Certification Program (PA UCP). The PA UCP provides “one stop shopping” for certification of DBE applicants. Once certified by the PA UCP, all recipients of DOT grant assistance, including those agencies that receive Federal Highway and Federal Transit grants, will recognize that certification. The PA UCP DBE Directory is the main source to be used by prime contractors seeking DBE participation on DOT-assisted projects. Visit the PA UCP website www.paucp.com in order to pursue certification.
