NON-ECMS DIVERSE BUSINESS VERIFICATION

DIVERSE BUSINESS PROGRAM
Act 89 of 2013 amended Section 303 of Title 74 of the Pennsylvania Consolidated Statutes to ensure that contracting entities maximize the participation of Diverse Businesses (DBs). All contractors that are certified as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) by the Pennsylvania Unified Certification Program (PA UCP) are also recognized as DBs. Other DBs include “minority-owned businesses,” “women-owned businesses,” “veteran-owned small businesses” and “service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses” as defined in Section 303, provided that these DBs are certified by an appropriate “third party certifying organization.”
