Part 26, are encouraged to participate in the performance of contracts financed in whole or in part with federal funds. As a condition of federal grant assistance, SacRT has adopted a DBE program for SacRT's federally-funded contracts. Consequently, the DBE requirements of 49 C.F.R. Part 26 apply to this contract.

Section 26.67, which requires a personal narrative and personal net worth statement submitted by the owner. A firm cannot be considered a “DBE” under the IFR until this reevaluation process by the CUCP is complete as to that firm.
