Certified DBE
State of California Certified
DBE firms receive increased visibility through inclusion in the California Unified Certification
Program (UCP) database of businesses. The database is used as a resource
by City buyers, department personnel, prime contractors and other agencies
and organizations throughout the state. A certification is valid for three
(3) years and recognized throughout the state of California.
Unified Certification Program
As of January 2002, certification issued by a participating agency
in the Unified Certification Program will be accepted by any other participating
public agency. So if your business is certified in San Diego, it is also
certified in Los Angeles, Riverside, Imperial County, as well as with the
State government. If you have a current certification you do NOT need to
re-certify for inclusion in this program.
