The procurement includes a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation component, with an established overall DBE participation goal of 11.63% to be achieved through race-neutral measures. The total targeted DBE expenditure is $685,381, calculated using Arizona DBE Directory and U.S. Census Bureau data, covering a market area that includes Maricopa, Pima, Mohave, Coconino, LaPaz, and Yavapai Counties.
