About this file

This document is a user guide and overview for the Directory of Certified Firms maintained by the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT). The guide, published in March 2022, provides instructions for accessing and utilizing the directory of minority business enterprises (MBEs) and other certified small businesses. The directory is administered by MDOT's Office of Minority Business Enterprise (OMBE), which serves as Maryland's official certification agency for the Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) Program, the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program, the Airport Concessionaire Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE) Program, and the Small Business Enterprise (SBE) Program established in 1978.

The Directory of Certified Firms can be accessed through the Certification Management System at marylandmdbe.mdbecert.com or through the MDOT website at www.mdot.maryland.gov. Users can search the directory using multiple criteria including NAICS codes, business descriptions, certification types, business names, commodity codes, contact persons, location information (city, county, zip code, state, phone area code), minority status, gender, certification date ranges, and certification numbers. Search results display firm business and contact information, certification details, commodity codes, minority status, certification date, and certification number. Users can export search results in Excel or CSV formats, with an optional inclusion of commodity codes in the download. The guide emphasizes that exported information is not to be used for unsolicited advertising, spam, or unauthorized purposes, with IP activities tracked for compliance.
