DBE Certification Reevaluation Applications

SOURCE: INDOT Business Opportunity Initiatives

Greetings DBE Community and Stakeholders:

Starting Monday, Feb. 23, the Indiana Department of Transportation will be accepting DBE certification reevaluation applications as well as new applications. This guide will help you with step-by-step instructions to set up your Access Indiana account. We appreciate your patience as we worked through the Interim Final Rule changes to ensure our systems and processes were updated properly.

INDOT will be hosting a webinar to provide DBEs and prospective applicants with important information about the revised application process as outlined in the final rule. This session will cover a structured overview of application requirements, documentation expectations, and important considerations to support the submission of a complete and compliant application.

Webinar Details:

Date: Monday, Feb. 23

Time:  9:00 a.m. EST

Registration:  You can sign up for the webinar HERE.

Please note, this session will not have live Q&A, however, participants may submit questions and feedback during the webinar which will be used to develop an FAQ document to be shared following the session.

Thank you for your continued interest in the DBE program and your cooperation as these updates are implemented.  If you have any questions, please contact BOIInquiry@indot.in.gov.
