Fwd: Monday! Use Vendor Diversity Initiatives to Drive Bid Competition in Transportation
  Dudley Horscroft

While use of local DBEs may be desirable on 'social 'grounds, unless  they can offer appropriate expertize and prices not far above the more established outfits, use of them is probably a disaster waiting to happen.  And if something goes wrong, you have not the financial backing from "Joe's meat works"  to pay like you have from CAF.

Transportation agency procurement teams are tasked with spending public funds in the best way possible. This can be challenging.

IIJA funding components has a strong emphasis on supporting disadvantaged communities and vendor diversity, proactively creating a strategy to engage and promote participation from historically disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs) is a great way to meet those requirements. Not only that, a successful program drives sharper competition in your RFPs all while pumping money into your local economy.

So how can transportation agencies open up more opportunities for DBE participation?
