Each DOT - assisted State and local transportation agency is required to establish annual DBE goals, and review the scopes of anticipated large prime contracts throughout the year and establish contract - specific
DBE subcontracting goals.
Then these DOT - assisted agencies evaluate their DOT - assisted contracts throughout the year and establish contract specific
DBE subcontracting goals where these goals are needed to ensure nondiscrimination in federally - assisted procurements.
The level of
DBE subcontracting goals may vary from their approved DBE goal however, at the end of the year the amount of contract / subcontract awards to DBEs should be consistent with the overall goal.
