SCUCP Is Now Accepting Reevaluation Documents!
Our Business Is Helping YOUR Business!
The SCUCP is now accepting documents for firms based in South Carolina to reevaluate DBEs certified prior to the Interim Final Rule (IFR) issued on October 3, 2025.
All reevaluation documents should be submitted on or before Monday, June 1, 2026.
Why Standard DBE Operating Procedures are Temporarily on Pause!
The United States Department of Transportation issued an Interim Final Rule (IFR) that amends the Federal Regulations that govern the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE and ACDBE) Programs. The IFR was published October 3, 2025.
In compliance with the IFR, the certification process for new DBE’s and the certifications of all existing DBE firms have been suspended pending the implementation of the new DBE certification guidelines consistent with the IFR. Standard operating procedures concerning business development center trainings and supportive services, and DBE Reporting and Data Management are being reevaluated and are temporarily on pause.
Please know that the South Carolina Department of Transportation (SCDOT) is working as quickly as possible to interpret and implement guidance mandating changes in federal regulations. An SCDOT memorandum dated October 17, 2025 includes a summary of the coordinated actions underway. This information may be viewed in the IFR.
Detailed information regarding SCDOT’s reevaluation process and other certification-related updates can be found DBE Certification.
