Federal contracting is a highly competitive sector. Getting your foot in the door is a whole feat of its own. However, a true indicator of a contractor’s prowess and quality of work is when Uncle Sam chooses to build a working relationship with their business. Such is the case with RTG Building Services Inc. (which has held previous contracts under LP Custodial) winning their rebid on a janitorial contract with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers. After a 10 year contract, the Army has once again solidified their trust in RTG Building Services Inc. with this recent award.

Minority-owned firms in the U.S. rose from 5.8 million in 2007 to 8.0 million in 2012, and employed 7.2 million people in 2012. While the number of minority-owned businesses increased by 2.2 million, the number of non-minority- owned businesses declined by 1.1 million, from 20.1 million in 2007 to 18.9 million in 2012.

What is the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Certification Program?
Aug 29, 2014 4:04:53 PM / by USFCR posted in 8(a) Business Development Program, Women Owned Small Business (WOSB/EDWOSB)
The United States Department of Transportation (DOT) has created a certification program that focuses on economically disadvantaged businesses and minority business enterprises. The name of the program is called the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Certification Program. Businesses must be 51% owned and controlled by an economically and socially disadvantaged individual. The DBE program provides more exposure to government contracting opportunities to small businesses. Once a business is certified in the DBE program businesses are added to a state database managed by the TDOT that is called the Certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Listing. Agency officials can then reference this database when seeking out DBE certified businesses. The DOT has spent over $6 billion on government contracts for the past four years. The DBE Program proves to be an excellent program for small businesses interested in winning government contracts on a state/federal level. Businesses must be registered in System for Award Management (SAM) before being awarded government contracts.
