Disadvantaged Business Enterprises Federally Funded Projects and Airport Concession

Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs) Build Our Future
One of the San Antonio International Airport's (SAIA) objectives is to facilitate Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation for contractual opportunities at the San Antonio International Airport System. SAIA strongly encourages businesses to explore their eligibility for DBE certification with the South Central Texas Regional Certification Agency (SCTRCA). A unified certification process, herein referred to as the Texas Unified Certification Program (TUCP), was created in response to a mandate to implement a “ one stop ” certification process for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBEs). The City of San Antonio is a member of the TUCP and utlizes the services of the South Central Texas Regional Certification Agency (SCTRCA), which uses the certification standards of 49 CFR Parts 23 and 26 to determine the eligibility of firms to participate as DBEs in federally-assisted contracts. The City will recognize all DBEs certified by the TUCP throughout the State of Texas. To be certified as a DBE, a firm must meet all certification eligibility standards. However, certification does not guarantee the award of City contracts.

If your firm is certified as a DBE, your business:

  • Will have the opportunity to bid on contracts for all Department of Transportation (DoT) modes statewide (Aviation, Highways, and Transit).
  • Will have access to information on statewide DBE contracting opportunities.
  • Will be listed in a DBE directory which will be posted on the internet and updated monthly.
    • To apply for DBE certification, please contact the SCTRCA at (210) 227-4722 or www.sctrca.org.
