OMWBE’s Directory of Certified Firms will help buyers and contracting officers quickly locate and notify firms of upcoming procurement and contracting opportunities. When you search, you must also select at least one certification type.
This online directory lists firms certified by OMWBE. Firms that appear in the directory are currently certified and approved to be utilized toward meeting established contract goals in their displayed certification type(s). Firms that are noted as suspended cannot be utilized for-credit in new contracts until the suspension is removed. For additional details please reference the US DOT regulations or contact Amal Joury at amalj@omwbe.wa.gov.
As of October 1, 2020, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) will be adding white-women owned businesses back into the Federal Highway Administration race-conscious, or goals portion of the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program. All previously awarded contracts with underutilized DBE (UDBE) goals will remain the same. This means only UDBE firms will continue to count toward those projects. On projects with goals set after October 1, 2020, all DBE firms will count toward all DBE goals. For more information, please contact (360) 705.7090.
