On June 30, 2026, The Arizona Unified Certification Program (AZUCP) partners notified firms that were previously certified under the rules in effect before Oct. 3, 2025, that the AZUCP has completed its DBE reevaluation process and will resume all certification activities.

The DBE firms currently listed as active in the Arizona Unified Transportation Registration And Certification System (AZUTRACS) are certified in accordance with the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) Disadvantaged Businesses Enterprise (DBE) Interim Final Rule (IFR), effective Oct. 3, 2025.

• Firms that did not submit a reevaluation application by June 30, 2026 were delisted from AZUTRACS and are not eligible for participation in the DBE program.
• AZUTRACS reflects the most up-to-date list of current, certified AZUCP DBE and ACDBE firms.
• ADOT and the AZUCP partner agencies are accepting DBE, ACDBE, and Interstate applications for review under the new standards as required by the IFR.
• If a delisted firm submits a reevaluation application after July 1, 2026 and is found eligible, the firm's DBE status will be updated and the firm will be listed as an active DBE.
• ADOT will not accept appeals for DBE recertification applications per the IFR provision stating these decisions are not subject to appeal (provisions of 26.87). Any appeals for recertification decisions must be filed with the USDOT.

The current list of DBE firms in AZ UTRACS are certified in accordance with the IFR but do not count for credit at this time until ADOT has updated and submitted its DBE program plan and goal methodology to the USDOT for review and approval.
