This is a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Firms participation form for John Wayne Airport in Orange County, California, which is subject to Title 49 CFR Part 26 requirements for Federal Aviation Administration-funded contracts. The form requires bidders who have listed DBE firms in their proposals to report all DBE participants as subcontractors, vendors of materials and supplies, or manufacturers. The County has established an overall DBE participation goal for federally funded contracts at the airport. Bidders must list the names, addresses, phone numbers, and specific divisions of work for each participating DBE firm, along with the total dollar value and applied percentage of total project value. All listed DBE firms must be certified with the California Unified Certification Program to qualify.

The applied dollar value calculation varies by firm classification: subcontractors and manufacturers are credited at 100 percent of their contract value, while vendors of materials and supplies receive 60 percent credit toward the DBE participation goal. This form serves as a tracking mechanism to enable Orange County to monitor and report DBE participation toward achievement of its federally mandated overall goal for the Airport IT Systems Design Services RFQ, for which the County intends to establish Qualified Vendor Lists and may make multiple awards to eligible respondents.
