Questions

Does it really count toward my DVBE goal?

Yes, on state-funded work. A certified DVBE supplier counts in full (Caltrans CM 8-405A). It does not count toward a federal-aid DBE goal.

What does it cost?

Nothing. You only pay for the materials you order.

Will buying through a DVBE cost me more?

No. We have years of distribution experience and supplier relationships, and our team goes to work to bring you the lowest prices so your bid stays low. Pricing can improve when you send your list early.

Do I need an account?

Not to plan or get a quote. You create a sign-in when you approve the quote.

How fast is the quote?

Usually the same business day. Bid is tomorrow? Send it anyway.

What happens after I win?

Tell us how you want it delivered: one shipment, or a schedule of deliveries over the life of the job, to one site or several. You order from the same link, track each delivery, and your DVBE report stays up to date.
