Small and Diverse Business Participation (Supplier Outreach)

Dallas Area Rapid Transit is inviting DBE, MBE, and WBE-certified suppliers to engage as subcontractors or vendors under its equal opportunity commitment to foster diverse business inclusion. This opportunity, classified under NAICS code 332710, is designed to expand participation from certified minority- and women-owned businesses within the supply chain, aligning with the agency’s goals for equitable economic opportunity. Interested parties must respond by the deadline of May 20, 2026, to be considered for potential involvement in future contract obligations tied to DART’s procurement and operational needs. The initiative supports broader diversity and inclusion objectives without a formal set-aside structure, relying instead on the prime contractor’s obligation to actively seek and include certified diverse suppliers. Participation is facilitated through the BonfireHub platform, with all communication and submissions managed via the posted online portal.
