B2Gnow Announces DBE Compliance Package for Small to Mid-Size Transportation Organizations

PHOENIX, Aug. 3, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- B2Gnow, a leader in supplier diversity, procurement, and grant management solutions for governments, contractors, and corporations, announces DBE Direct - a new, cost-effective package option designed to assist small to mid-size US transportation organizations (transits and airports) automate the process of project data collection, compliance, and reporting on the utilization of disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs), as required by 49 CFR Part 26.

B2Gnow Chief Revenue Officer Ryan Kelly explains, "Complying with these requirements can be challenging for smaller transit and airport authorities due to simple spreadsheet use, manual processes, limited resources, and the impending changes outlined in the USDOT's Notice of Proposed Rulemaking related to the DBE program. New funding opportunities, such as the 2022 Infrastructure Bill, have opened the door to billions of dollars in federal grants but have also increased the need for more efficient processes."

"The B2Gnow enterprise system delivers a host of solutions that bring efficiency and compliance to the entire DBE environment. However, for small to mid-size organizations with lower contract and project counts, smaller total dollar spend, and a limited number of available DBEs, especially in more rural locations, the DBE Direct program offers these agencies a simple suite of solutions to meet their requirements and allow them to scale as necessary," added Mr. Kelly.

More than 100 recipients, certifying agencies, and Unified Certification Programs rely on B2Gnow for DBE program activities such as spend tracking, reporting, and certification management. It is the most widely used system for DBE program monitoring and has the most extensive user base of any compliance system in the United States.
