Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program (DBE)
Redmond Municipal Airport (RDM) has an established Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program for businesses that are certified as socially or economically disadvantaged in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) regulations, 49 CFR Part 26. RDM receives Federal financial assistance from the USDOT through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) primarily for airport construction projects. As a condition of then financial assistance, RDM will ensure that DBE-certified businesses have an equal opportunity to compete for and to enter into contracts with the City of Redmond.
This grant assurance requires RDM to establish DBE plans, set annual DBE participation goals for airport projects and concessions, and submit annual achievement reports to the FAA detailing actual DBE participation. Most certified DBEs are minority and women-owned businesses, and all DBEs must not exceed the federally defined size and revenue standards.
