What small-business or set-aside programs apply to transportation contracts in Arizona?
DBE (Disadvantaged Business Enterprise) is the dominant preference. Federal-aid highway and transit projects impose contract-specific DBE goals (typically 8–15%). DBE certification is state-controlled — apply through the state DOT's Unified Certification Program. Small businesses may qualify as DBE, WOSB, HUBZone, and SDVOSB simultaneously; each certification opens different set-aside pools.
