Department of Minority Business Enterprise
The mission of the Department of Minority Business Enterprise is to promote access to the Commonwealth of Virginia's contracting opportunities and ensure fairness in the procurement process. DMBE has two key goals: (1) increase the number of certified businesses in the Commonwealth, and (2) increase the total dollars allocated to SWaM vendors as a percentage of all discretionary spend or contract dollars.
Did you know that approximately 95% of Virginia businesses are small businesses and that Small, Women- and Minority-owned businesses are the source of most new jobs in Virginia? Unfortunately for these hardworking, talented entrepreneurs, growing a successful business is not an easy task. For most small businesses, opportunities and capital funding—the lifeblood of any successful business—are significantly more difficult to access.
DMBE is the state agency dedicated to enhancing the participation of our small, women- and minority-owned businesses in Virginia's procurement opportunities. DMBE is responsible for the administration of two certification programs: the Small, Women-and Minority- owned Businesses under Virginia's "SWaM" Procurement Initiative and the federal U.S. Department of Transportation's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise ("DBE") Program. DMBE also provides support to our certified businesses through business development and procurement advocacy programs, in cooperation with other agencies and departments.
