About this file
This is a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Goal Notice issued by the Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) Business Engagement and Compliance Office (BECO) on January 27, 2026, addressing updates to the DBE goal-setting process for federally assisted contracts. In accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation Interim Final Rule (IFR) effective October 3, 2025, ADOT has paused the DBE goal-setting process and has not assigned a DBE participation rate for this phase of the Western Hills Neighborhood Revitalization project, which is federally assisted through the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). ADOT's BECO has requested that goal requesters continue submitting DBE goal requests for USDOT-assisted contracts to ensure the Bidder's List becomes available in the AZ UTRACS system for bidder submission, as the Bidder's List remains a condition of award under ADOT's interim DBE "without goal" contract language and 49 CFR 26.11(c).
BECO is coordinating with ADOT's Information Technology Group to implement system updates to the automated goal-setting assessment communication process to ensure compliance with the USDOT DBE IFR. The agency anticipates resuming the issuance of goal assessment memos to goal requesters in the near term. This notice reflects the transitional period as ADOT adapts its procedures to align with new federal regulatory requirements, and bidders and subrecipients should continue preparing DBE documentation while awaiting the finalized participation targets and guidance.

Good morning ADOT and ADOT Subrecipient DBE goal requesters, In accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) DBE Interim Final Rule (IFR), effective October 3, 2025, ADOT paused the DBE goal-setting process for ADOT and subrecipient federally assisted contracts.
At this time, a DBE participation rate has not been assigned for this phase of the project in accordance with the USDOT DBE Interim Final Rule (IFR) issued
October 3, 2025.
In the interim, ADOT’s Business Engagement and Compliance Office (BECO) requests that goal requesters continue submitting DBE goal requests for
USDOT-assisted contracts so the Bidder’s List can become available in AZ UTRACS for bidder submission. The Bidder’s List remains a condition of award under ADOT’s interim DBE “without goal” contract language and 49 CFR § 26.11(c).
BECO is working with ADOT’s Information Technology Group (ITG) to implement updates to the system-generated email, “Memo: goal setting assessment for contract #” to ensure it is issued in accordance with the USDOT DBE IFR. BECO will resume sending the goal assessment memo to goal requesters shortly.
Thank you for your patience as ADOT works through these updates and resulting changes.
Sincerely, DBE Contract Goals Team
