1. What is M/WBE certification?

Certification is the process by which a business enterprise is initially determined by the North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency to be an eligible M/WBE.

For a qualified M/WBE business to be counted in the participation of City’s projects as outlined in the Good Faith Effort Plan, the business must be currently certified. The City is a member of the North Central Texas Regional Certification Agency (NCTRCA), and recognizes businesses certified through them.
