On the first Thursday of each month, firms seeking MBE/WBE/DBE and Small Local Business (SLB) certification are welcome to walk-in to the office of the Bureau of Contract Administration to submit their applications. Analysts from the Centralized Certification Section will be available to provide one-on-one certification assistance.

When: First Thursday of each month, 8:00 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
On average, MBE/WBE/DBE certification applicants can receive certification eight to twelve weeks after submittal, depending on their responsiveness to the Bureau of Contract Administration's request for additional requirements.
