Are you a contractor looking for a DBE? Are you a DBE company hoping to increase your visibility and bidding opportunities? NDOT’s Civil Rights and Contract Compliance team just made finding each other easier with our new Advanced Website Search Feature at NevadaDBE.com!
We are pleased to announce the addition of an “Advanced Search” feature to the Certified DBE Vendors List. Users can now use this advanced search feature to locate DBE companies in many different ways including by vendor name or description, NAICS code or description, contact person, website, mailing address and more. DBE Vendor companies are encouraged to submit comprehensive, descriptive information to NDOT’s Civil Rights and Contract Compliance Team for us to include with their listing to enhance their visibility and opportunities.
TIP: To find results more accurately, users should use portions of keywords such as “Test” for testing, tester, tested; or “Manuf” for manufacture, manufactured, manufacturing, and so on. This will potentially give more results than if a word is used that does not appear in the field(s) being searched.
We are truly excited to offer this new feature, and the benefits it offers to Primes, subcontractors and DBEs. Check it out today!
