Minority Business Enterprise Certification | Georgia Department of Administrative Services - DOAS State Agencies & Employees All State Entities Resources Acquire/Buy Surplus Property How to Renew Your Eligibility How to Acquire Federal Property How to Acquire State Property Human Resources Administration Human Trafficking Awareness HR Education and Training Mission, Vision, and Values Minority Business Enterprise Certification Minority Business Enterprise Certification Legacy Certification Program Prior to January 1, 2024, the Georgia Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) administered the Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) certification program.
Under the former MBE certification process, DOAS automatically issued an MBE certificate to any business certified as a federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) by the Georgia Department of Transportation or MARTA, provided the business was identified as minority owned. On January 1, 2024, DOAS launched the Georgia Business Certification Program, in accordance with House Bill 128, signed into law by Governor Brian P.
Kemp on April 24, 2023. As a result of this legislation, DOAS’ certification authority has been expanded to include minority-owned, veteran-owned and women-owned businesses. Under the new program, businesses seeking certification must submit their applications directly to DOAS.
As part of the transition to our new certification program, all previously certified MBE companies (firms certified DBE prior to January 1, 2024) seeking to maintain state certification through DOAS were required to reapply under the new application process no later than November 1, 2024, to avoid lapsing their certification. Certified MBEs that did not apply by the deadline have now lapsed.
Any company that is DBE-certified and either minority-owned or women-owned is eligible for certification through our State of Georgia Business Certification . Contact State Purchasing Division View All State Purchasing Contacts procurementhelp @doas . ga .
