Print Send Bookmark
DFW Airport is committed to increasing the opportunities to involve disadvantaged, minority and women-owned businesses (D/M/WBE) in all Airport-related opportunities. Policies, procedures, and contract clauses regarding specific D/M/WBE-related requirements are incorporated into all Airport contracts. To this end, the Airport Board of Directors has adopted the following D/M/WBE annual aspirational goals:
  • Construction 30%
  • Professional Service 27%
  • Procurement 25%
  • Concessions varies by trade
The fiscal year 2009 DBE aspirational goal is 33%.

DFW also is committed to assisting in the identification of qualified D/M/WBE’s to bid or propose on Airport projects. The Airport offers resources for D/M/WBE’s seeking business opportunities with DFW and for prime contractors that need assistance in meeting the Airport Board’s DBE and M/WBE program requirements.

DFW Airport utilizes an effective outreach program to disseminate information pertaining to upcoming opportunities/solicitations to the D/M/WBE community. Technical assistance to D/M/WBE’s through established outreach programs such as Quarterly Vendor Workshops, Surety Support Initiative, Small Contractor Development Training Workshop, DBE and M/WBE certification and others are also offered.
 
Prime contractors can be provided with a listing of certified D/M/WBE’s to be considered for subcontracting opportunities. If a prime contractor utilizes an D/M/WBE firm that has not been certified by the Airport Board, DFW Airport can assist the applicant in expediting the certification process. Additional information related to prime and subcontracting opportunities at DFW Airport can be found at Architectural, Engineering & Construction.

If you are a prime contractor/consultant and need assistance in satisfying the Board’s DBE or M/WBE program requirements or if you are a D/M/WBE firm and need assistance in introducing your goods and/or services, contact DFW Airport’s Business Diversity & Development Department by phone at 972 973 5500 or by e-mail at bdd@dfwairport.com.
