CERTIFICATION REMINDERS
|
 Are you taking advantage of the opportunity for multiple certifications offered through the WBCS?
As an additional benefit of membership, eligible businesses are screened and submitted for:
In order for WBCS to screen your application for these additional certifications, you must provide your company's IRS Form 941 for the most recent four quarters or a copy of your most recent W-3.
Eligibility for these certifications is based on employment or revenue thresholds established for your primary NAICS code. It is very important that the NAICS code selected in your WBENCLink profile accurately reflects your primary business services and matches the Business Activity Code listed on your federal tax return.
Quick notes:
- To be considered for WOSB certification, you must complete the WOSB tab of your WBENCLink application and forward a print-out of the summary view to the WBCS Certification Department along with proof of your active registration status in SAM.gov. (Sam.gov registration is free.)
- All Women Business Enterprises (WBEs) are automatically screened for HUB and SBE eligibility, and eligible WBEs contact info is exported to the State Comptroller's office and DFW Airport's Business Diversity and Development Department.
- If your company is indirectly contracting with DFW Airport via a subcontract, you must request a copy of your SBE certificate from the WBCS Certification Department.
- Please note that WOSB, HUB, and SBE certifications will have the same expiration date as your WBENC certification.
Have questions? Email Anita Steel or Kelly Francis in the certification department.
