Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Subcontracting Participation

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise certified firms are invited to participate in subcontracting opportunities under a federal initiative to meet DBE participation goals mandated by 49 CFR Part 26. This opportunity is tied to a transportation infrastructure project managed by the South Dakota Department of Transportation, with performance based in Rapid City, and is categorized under NAICS code 237310, which pertains to Highway, Street, and Bridge Construction. The contract is structured as a subcontracting arrangement designed to facilitate the involvement of DBE-certified businesses across various trades to ensure compliance with federal diversity and inclusion targets. While no specific solicitation number or response deadline is provided beyond the posted date of June 3, 2026, firms must be federally certified as DBEs to be eligible. The opportunity does not include a set-aside designation, meaning it is not reserved exclusively for DBEs but requires active participation from them to fulfill overall subcontracting goals. Interested parties must engage through the South Dakota Department of Transportation’s official electronic bidding portal to access details and submit proposals.
