Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Participation

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)-certified firms are invited to pursue subcontracting opportunities in paving, hauling, or material supply under a contract administered by Saint Louis County in Minnesota. The solicitation is open for a very limited window, with responses due by June 4, 2026, at 3:00 PM, just one day after the posting date of June 3, 2026. This opportunity falls under NAICS code 237310, which corresponds to highway and street construction, indicating that the work involves transportation infrastructure projects. Participation is restricted to businesses certified as DBEs to ensure compliance with federal goals supporting minority and socially and economically disadvantaged enterprises. The contract does not specify a set-aside type or detailed set-aside description, but it explicitly targets subcontracting roles within a larger construction effort. Interested parties must engage through the provided online portal to submit responses before the deadline, as no physical address or point of contact is listed. The location of performance is not defined beyond the state of Minnesota, suggesting the work may occur across multiple sites within the county’s jurisdiction.
