DBE Supportive Services

Striped Square

The DBE Supportive Services program is designed to assist qualified minority- and woman-owned businesses to become certified as Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) firms. Once certified, the program strives to assist DBE firms to get work on federal-aid contracts and to become self-sufficient in their respective industries. A variety of training programs and technical assistance is provided by the Supportive Services program staff to assist DBEs in meeting these goals. Companies registered as Small Business Enterprises(SBE) can also participate in conferences and training offered to DBEs.


The Paragon Group serves as the Nevada Department of Transportation's DBE Supportive Services Consultant.


The Paragon Resource Center is designed to ELEVATE Certified Diverse (D|S|M|WBE) contractors, suppliers & and professional service providers in heavy highway, transportation, construction, and utilities. This is done through education, training, access to resources, professional and subject matter experts and so much more.
