Tennessee Uniform Certification PDF Details

In the heart of Tennessee's efforts to foster a more inclusive economy, the Tennessee Uniform Certification Program (TNUCP) stands as a testament to the state's commitment to expanding opportunities for disadvantaged business enterprises (DBEs) and Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (ACDBEs). Designed to streamline the certification process for these businesses, the TNUCP consolidates the effort into a single, uniform application, thereby eliminating the redundancy of applying for certification at multiple agencies. Spearheaded by an array of member agencies, including several of Tennessee's most significant transportation authorities and airport administrations, this program echoes the nationwide directive under the Final Rule 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 26, to facilitate the participation of disadvantaged firms in Department of Transportation-assisted contracts. Applicants are guided through a meticulous process that requires thorough documentation, including financial statements and an Affidavit of Certification to be notarized, aiming to assure that only genuinely disadvantaged businesses benefit. In addition, the program intricately assesses each application, necessitating on-site interviews for in-state applicants and a comprehensive review that might span across 90 business days. By mandating such rigor, the TNUCP not only champions fairness and thoroughness but also ensures that its database—an invaluable resource for the U.S. Department of Transportation grantees in Tennessee—remains a credible and up-to-date repository of certified disadvantaged businesses. Through this endeavor, the program offers a beacon of support and visibility to those businesses it aims to uplift, reflecting a broader goal of fostering diversity, equity, and equal opportunity within Tennessee's vibrant economic landscape.

TENNESSEE UNIFORM CERTIFICATION PROGRAM

(TNUCP)

Thank you for your interest in participating in the Tennessee Uniform Certification Program (TNUCP) to become a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE)/Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (ACDBE). Our DBE objective is to ensure that disadvantaged business firms have the maximum opportunity to participate in DOT assisted contracts.

The TNUCP is charged with the responsibility of certifying firms for the purpose of maintaining a database of certified DBEs for the United States Department of Transportation (U.S. DOT) grantees in the state of Tennessee. This is pursuant to the Final Rule 49 Code of Federal Regulations (CFR) Part 26 that requires U.S. DOT recipients to take part in a statewide uniform certification process.

Please complete the attached application if you wish to be considered for DBE certification. In order to avoid unnecessary delays, please complete all portions of the Uniform Certification Application and include all copies of documents requested on the application. In addition, the Affidavit of Certification and the Personal Financial Statement must both be notarized.

Additional documentation may be requested if it is considered necessary to make a certification determination. Incomplete applications will not be evaluated until all requested documentation has been submitted for review. We highly recommend that you keep a copy of all submitted documents for your records.

It is no longer necessary to apply for DBE certification at more than one of the member agencies. If your firm meets the criteria for certification, it will be entered in the TNUCP database. Only firms currently certified as eligible DBEs for the TNUCP may participate in the DBE program of U.S.

DOT grantees within the state of Tennessee. The TNUCP is not required to process an application for certification from a firm having its principal place of business outside the state of Tennessee if the firm is not certified in its home state. If the firm has its principal place of business in another state and is currently certified in that state, please contact the Tennessee Department of Transportation.

To participate in the TNUCP DBE/ACDBE program, please send the completed application and all supporting documentation to the appropriate member agency listed on the following page.
