OSBP DBE Program
Formerly the Minority-Owned Business Enterprise and Woman-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE/WBE) Program, the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program is an outreach, education, and goaling program designed to increase and encourage the utilization and participation of DBEs in procurements funded by EPA assistance agreements. OSBP's Indirect Procurement Team establishes policy and provides procedural guidance for the DBE Program. The DBE Program requirements apply to all procurements for equipment, supplies, construction and services under all EPA grants, cooperative agreements, and IAGs.
Specific DBE Program functions include:
- Developing and monitoring DBE Program policy and procedures.
- Providing outreach and training to internal and external DBE program stakeholders.
- Providing technical and programmatic assistance to minority and women-owned businesses.
- Collecting, compiling, and analyzing data on MBE/WBE utilization under EPA financial assistance agreements, including Interagency Agreements (IAs).
