Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Programs 

Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program (DBE)

The Eugene Airport has an established Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program. This program is for businesses that are certified as socially or economically disadvantaged in accordance with U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) regulations, 49 CFR Part 26. The Airport receives federal financial assistance from the USDOT through the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) primarily for airport construction projects. As a condition of that financial assistance, the Airport must ensure that DBE-certified businesses have an equal opportunity to compete for, and perform, Eugene Airport contracts.

This grant assurance requires the Airport to establish DBE plans and set annual DBE participation goals for airport projects and concessions. The Airport also must submit annual reports to the FAA detailing actual DBE participation. Most certified DBEs are minority- or women-owned businesses, and all DBEs must not exceed federally defined size standards.
