About MWDBE:
Our program objective is to ensure that all MBEs, WBEs and DBEs are given the maximum opportunity to obtain and perform on contracts. The goals are 13% for MBEs and 2% for WBEs, and remain in effect throughout the life of each contract.
Allegheny County expects all bidders and proposers to demonstrate a good faith effort to include MBEs, WBEs and DBEs when bidding on county contracts. We provide contract compliance and oversight, technical assistance and act as a certifying participant for the Pennsylvania Unified Certification Program (PA UCP).
