About this file
Summary
This document is an overview and user guide for the Directory of Certified Firms maintained by the Maryland Department of Transportation (MDOT) Office of Minority Business Enterprise (OMBE). The directory is Maryland's official certification platform for small, minority, and disadvantaged businesses, administered through MDOT's Certification Management System. The directory identifies firms certified under four programs: Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), Small Business Enterprise (SBE), and Airport Concessionaire Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE). MDOT serves as Maryland's official certification agency for these programs.
The guide provides comprehensive instructions for accessing and searching the Directory of Certified Firms through marylandmdbe.mdbecert.com. Users can search by multiple criteria including NAICS codes, business descriptions, commodity codes, certification type, business name or DBA, location information (city, county, state, zip code, phone area code), minority status, contact person, and certification date ranges. Search results display vendor name, location, contact information, and certification details. Users may export search results in Excel or CSV format, with the option to include commodity codes. The directory facilitates procurement opportunities by allowing buyers to identify qualified certified firms across various service categories and business classifications throughout Maryland.
