Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Participation

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)-certified firms are invited to participate in subcontracting opportunities across multiple trades including construction, electrical work, and materials supply under a contract administered by the South Carolina Department of Transportation. Participation is governed by federal regulations under 49 CFR Part 26, ensuring adherence to DBE program requirements and compliance with SCDOT’s established DBE participation goals. The opportunity is tied to a specific project location in Orangeburg, South Carolina, and is structured as a subcontract under NAICS code 237310, which pertains to highway, street, and bridge construction. The solicitation was posted and has a response deadline of August 11, 2026, with no set-aside type designated, indicating that eligible DBE firms may compete for work within the broader project scope rather than under a reserved category. Subcontractors must be certified and actively maintain their DBE status to qualify for inclusion in the project’s compliance reporting and goal tracking system.
