Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program

SACOG is committed to reduce barriers to procurement and contracting and ensuring non-discrimination in the execution of contracts. 

SACOG’s DBE Program is temporarily paused due to Interim Federal Rule Change.

Under the new Interim Federal Rule (IFR issued October 3, 2025), certifications must now be based on individualized demonstrations of social and economic disadvantage, with no reliance on race- or sex-based presumptions. SACOG relies upon the California Unified Certification Program to certify DBEs. Based on the Interim Federal Rule, the United States Department of Transportation has directed agencies to:

  • Pause DBE contract goals on new federally funded procurements until recertification is complete.
  • Discontinue counting DBE participation toward goals until recertification is complete.

The California Unified Certification Program will reevaluate all currently certified DBE/ACDBE firms under these standards, and those that do not meet the new criteria may be decertified. 

SACOG will suspend DBE goal setting and tracking on new federally funded contracts until further notice. Affected firms and project sponsors will be notified by SACOG as we receive updates from state or federal agencies.

DBE firms will be contacted by their certifying agency regarding additional requirements to get recertified.

Racial Equity Action Plan (REAP)

SACOG’s board-adopted Racial Equity Action Plan (REAP) includes measurable activities to align SACOG’s operations, programs, and board practices to the board’s adopted racial equity statement of change and commitment.

SACOG’s REAP goal related to procurement is: Reduce barriers to SACOG procurement and contracting process to create more opportunity for Black, Indigenous, Asian, Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, and communities of color, along with low-income rural, urban, and other underrepresented communities.    

Sacramento Public Agencies Consortium
