What does it mean to be certified as a Small Business Enterprise?
The City certifies small businesses as SBE's based upon size standards established by the City. Once certified, SBE's can compete for contracting opportunities with the City for both formal ($100,000 or greater) and informal (less than $100,000) contracts.
Benefits of Certification:
- Company information added to Citywide vendor list
- Increased notification of contracting opportunities

- Networking events and opportunities
- Business and technical assistance
- Access to student interns from local universities for projects
