DBE / ACDBE Certification
Michigan Unified Certification Program (MUCP)
The Airport Authority recognizes DBE/ACDBE Certification, however, the Airport Authority is not a DBE or ACDBE certifying agency.
DBEs and ACDBEs may be certified by only one MUCP agency at a time, however the certification will be honored by all federal DOT grant recipients in the state of Michigan (49CFR § 26.83 (b) (2)). A firm must be certified by a MUCP agency before the Airport Authority awards a contract, for the firm’s work to be credited toward the achievement of a DBE or ACDBE goal set by the Airport Authority.
DBE and ACDBE certifications are obtained through one of three Michigan certifying agencies of the MUCP.
The MUCP and certifying agencies for DBEs are:
If you wish to become a concessionaire, ACDBE certification can be obtained by submitting an application to Wayne County Human Relations Business Inclusion.
Also please note, as previously stated, per the Federal Regulations, vendors MUST be certified at the time of contract bid.
