Notice to All DBE/ACDBE Firms:

Effective October 3, 2025, the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) has issued an Interim Final Rule (IFR) that immediately changes how the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) and Airport Concession DBE (ACDBE) Programs operate nationwide.

What This Means:

  • • All DBE/ACDBE certifications will be reevaluated under new federal eligibility standards.
  • • Until reevaluations are complete, existing DBE/ACDBE certifications are not valid for contracting purposes and cannot be counted toward goals.
  • • Our Agency and all sub-recipients have paused goal setting and awards that include DBE/ACDBE goals. 

Next Steps for DBE/ACDBE Firms:

  • • You will be contacted by the Certification Department with instructions to complete recertification.
  • • Be prepared to provide a personal narrative, a Personal Net Worth (PNW) statement, and other supporting documents.
  • • Please do not submit new certification applications or change requests on existing certifications until further notice.


The Certification Department is working closely with the U.S. DOT and state partners to establish a clear process for these changes.

Personal Narrative form and Instrutions: Below is the​ Personal Narrative form that must be completed and submitted. The Personal Narrative form will be used to provide the firm’s majority owner the opportunity to provide evidence of his or her individual disadvantage in various areas of life experience as outlined in the Personal Narrative form. Please carefully review the Personal Narrative form and the Instructions in support of the form as. Along with the Personal Narrative form, a Personal Net Worth Statement (PNW) must also be submitted. The PNW statement is a part of the Personal Narrative form.

Once submitted, the Personal Narrative form and the PNW statement will be carefully reviewed by the MARTA team per the reevaluation instruction provided by U.S. DOT. A decision regarding the firm’s eligibility for DBE Program participation will be made by the certifying Agency and formally communicated to the firm in writing. If, upon reevaluation, the firm is determined ineligible for certification and is decertified, the federal regulations entitle the firm owner to an Appeal under the procedure described at 49 CFR §26.89.

According to the IFR, each Unified Certification Program (UCP) shall complete the reevaluation process as quickly as practicable following the issuance of the IFR.
