| Contracting With The State Of Arizona |
|
The Governor's Equity in State Contracting Initiative is focused on increasing state contracting opportunities for small, minority, women and disadvantaged enterprises to ensure market competition in state procurement. To further this goal, the State of Arizona forged a partnership with the Arizona Department of Transportation, the City of Phoenix and the City of Tucson to create an integrated business directory, or one stop shop, encompassing these certified firms. The first step, access to each entities directory, is provided below.
Note that all certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprises can located at www.azdbe.org. To be certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprises, a firm must meet United States Department of Transportation regulation requirements. The Arizona Department of Transportation and the Cities of Phoenix and Tucson are the sole entities certifying Disadvantaged Business Enterprises in Arizona. This website includes the names, locations and types of work performed by these entities. It also includes the requisite application paperwork and contact information for the partners. If you are interested in becoming certified, firms located in Maricopa County are encouraged to apply with the City of Phoenix. Firms in the City of Tucson are encouraged to apply with the City of Tucson. All other firms, statewide, should apply with Arizona Department of Transportation. |
