Doing Business with NCDOT for the Small Business Owner

The N.C. Department of Transportation's Division of Highways, in partnership with the department’s Office of Civil Rights, ECC Small Business Center, and Edgecombe County is hosting an outreach workshop on 3/21/26 for Disadvantaged Business Enterprises (DBE) — whether a small, woman-owned or minority-owned business, NCDOT wants to work with you! In this session, you will learn how to secure contract opportunities with NCDOT.

NCDOT's Division of Highways advertises and awards numerous contracts each year for all sorts of transportation work. Each project is an opportunity for NCDOT to encourage DBE participation and provide equitable and balanced access for these businesses to compete on contracts.

NCDOT has multiple contract opportunities statewide, including:

• Construction
• Maintenance
• Emergency work
• Mowing
• Traffic control
• Tree service
• Cleaning service
• Litter pickup
