The North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Codes also display a certification status designation.  Please be advised of the following definitions:

The MBE/DBE designation indicates the firm is qualified for ANY State of Maryland Contract including USDOT assisted contracts of the MDOT; these include contracts let by the Maryland State Highway Administration, the Maryland Aviation Administration, and the Maryland Transit Administration.

The MBE only designation indicates the firm is qualified for State-only Funded Contracts and not USDOT assisted contracts of the MDOT.

The DBE only designation indicates the firm is qualified to participate only on USDOT assisted contracts of the MDOT.

The "G" designation indicates the firm has graduated in that particular NAICS Code for which it has been certified per Federal and State Regulations. The MBE remains certified but may not particpate as a certified MBE/DBE on State and USDOT assisted contracts.

PLEASE NOTE: Effective October 1, 2000, the Small Business Administration established the use of the North American Industry Classification System (NAICS) Codes which replaced the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Codes. The Maryland Department of Transportation Office of Minority Business Enterprise has converted the SIC Codes to the NAICS Codes.  Please contact the Office of Minority Business Enterprise if you have questions regarding any information on any firm listed in this Directory.
