The United States Department of Transportation issued an Interim Final Rule (IFR) that amends the Federal Regulations that govern the Disadvantaged Business Enterprise and Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE and ACDBE) Programs. The IFR was published on October 3, 2025.
Consequently, all business development center trainings and classes as well as other supportive services are temporarily on pause until further notice.
Please know that SCDOT is working as quickly as possible to interpret and implement guidance mandating changes in federal regulations. Additional guidance will be posted as it becomes available. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work through this process.
