If a Master Contractor has 8(a) certification, do they automatically qualify as a State of Maryland SBR or MBE?
No. Neither 8(a) certification through the Small Business Administration, a federal agency, nor certification through the Federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program is the same as Maryland MBE certification. For more information on becoming a certified Maryland MBE, go to MDOT’s MBE web site at http://www.mdot.state.md.us/MBE_Program/Index.html. For more information on becoming a certified Maryland SBR, go to DGS’ SBR website at https://www.smallbusinessreserve.maryland.gov/.
