About this file
This is an overview and user guide for the Directory of Certified Firms, published by the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) Office of Minority Business Enterprise (OMBE) in March 2022. The directory serves as Maryland's official certification agency for minority business enterprises (MBE), disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), small business enterprises (SBE), and airport concessionaires disadvantaged business enterprises (ACDBE). The document provides comprehensive guidance for accessing and navigating the Certification Management System database at marylandmdbe.mdbecert.com, which maintains current information on all certified firms operating within these programs.
The guide outlines multiple search methodologies available within the directory, including searches by NAICS codes, business descriptions, commodity codes, certification type, business name or DBA, contact person, location (city, county, zip code, state, phone area code), minority status, and certification date ranges. Individual firm records display detailed business and contact information, owner details, address, phone, fax, email, website, ethnicity classification, certification information including the certifying agency and certification number, and commodity codes with corresponding business descriptions. Users can export search results in either Excel or CSV format, with optional inclusion of commodity codes. The directory allows search criteria to be used individually or in combination to refine results, and a reCAPTCHA verification is required before executing the initial search.
