Business Opportunities for DBE & ACDBE Firms

Marketing Advantage

By becoming a certified Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) or Airport Concessionaire DBE (ACDBE), your business will be listed in the CUCP statewide database. This database is utilized by contractors, businesses, and public agencies throughout California and the U.S.

Public agencies and large prime contractors contact DBEs listed in the database to solicit their participation on upcoming federally-assisted projects. The CUCP database provides your firm with exposure to procurement opportunities.
