Small Business Program (SBP)

A small business owner speaks with Wayne County Airport Authority at the MDOT Small Business Conference.

MDOT has developed a race- and gender-neutral Small Business Program (SBP) to ensure that small businesses, including DBE-certified businesses, have opportunities to participate on MDOT projects.

DBE and SBP businesses in the program will be among a limited group of firms eligible to participate in selected federally-assisted contract opportunities set-aside by MDOT.
