There are many reasons why a business should get a state certification:
Whatever your reasons may be, having a certification at the state level can be extremely helpful to increasing your business-to-government sales. State certifications often see much higher spending goals, set-aside opportunities and subcontracting goals vs. a certification at the federal level. State Certs can get awarded faster than Federal Certs. State Certs are perfect for small businesses to start doing business with Government Agencies.
Among the most popular state certifications, minority-owned small businesses can gain access to, usually, around 20% of all state contracting dollars. Get access to opportunities strictly set aside for MBE companies, and easily get picked up as a sub. Often times, contracts have a 5%-15% MWBE subcontracting goal. This means primes are required to find a certified company to act as a sub.
Similar to the MBE, women-owned businesses see the same preference. In fact, many states have combined the MBE and WBE programs into a unified certification and process, the MWBE. Receive the same prime and subcontracting goals as the MBE.
Governed by each states’ Department of Transportation, the DBE certification is a must for commercial and industrial engineers, construction companies and contractors. Typically, DBE certified vendors are given set aside contracts, and high spending goals when federal contracts are administered by the state, especially for all highway, road and bridge contracting needs.
Small businesses that don’t qualify for other socio-economic certifications can also find available the SBE certification. This certification is sometimes issued at a state, county, or city level. This gives a small preference when bidding in the designated area of certification, and is also utilized on many subcontracting goals.
