LDBE & DBE
The Washington Metropolitan Airport Authority's Local Disadvantaged Business Enterprise
(LDBE) Program provides opportunities to local small business firms without regard
to race or sex. These LDBE firms are eligible for any Metropolitan Washington Airports
Authority contract that requires LDBE participation. An LDBE is defined as a small
business concern which is organized for profit and located within a 100-mile radius
of Washington , DC 's Zero Mile Marker.
The Authority's Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program covers contracts
that are funded in part or in whole with federal dollars. This program provides
opportunities to firms who meet the federal eligibility standards for DBEs. The
Authority must comply with Department of Transportation regulations in 49 CFR Part
26, when certifying DBEs. The management and daily business operations must be controlled
by one or more of the socially and economically disadvantaged individuals who own
it.
Note: LDBE uses both Local & Federal Resources, DBE uses Federal Resources only.

interfaces and improved management tools that meet new management requirements,
or improve management effectiveness and efficiency. Perform maintenance and technical
support for Local Area Networks (LAN) and Wide Area Networks (WAN). Modify, implement
and maintain web based information systems and links. Develop web-site structure,
prepare documentation for population, implement and maintain web sites. Provide
systems engineering and technical support for establishment, test, upgrade, and
operational support of systems, networks, workstations and support equipment hardware
and software that are outside the client's immediate operational areas IA analyses,
develop, recommend, and implement, monitor, update, and maintain, IA practices,
procedures, equipments, algorithms, and hardware that are outside the cognizance
of NMCI.
Interoperability, Test and Evaluation, Trials Support
This functional area consists of the application of engineering, scientific, and
analytical disciplines necessary to ensure that developed platforms, systems, and
war fighting capabilities have been properly tested and that joint interoperability
requirements have been fully met at all levels of their life cycle .
Acquisition Logistics Support
The principal objectives of acquisition logistics are to ensure that support considerations
are an integral part of the systems design requirements, that the system can be
cost effectively supported through its life-cycle, and that the research and development
facilities and infrastructure elements necessary to the design, development, initial
fielding, and operational support of the system are identified, developed, acquired,
and supported.
Supply and Provisioning Support
This functional area consists of applying the analytical and technical disciplines
required to ensure that research and development facilities, experimental and developmental
systems, and fielded war fighting capabilities are materially sustained. The principal
objectives of this functional area is to ensure that material for fleet operation
and maintenance of systems is available when required, that materials are properly
stored and transported, and inventories are managed in a cost effective manner to
sustain supported systems.
Training Support
This functional area consists of applying the engineering and analytical disciplines
required to ensure that the technical support community is provided with adequate
instruction including applied exercises resulting in the attainment and retention
of knowledge, skills, and attitudes regarding the platforms, systems, and war fighting
capabilities they operate and maintain.
Program Support
This functional area consists of applying the business, financial management, and
technical disciplines required to support planning, organizing, staffing, controlling,
and leading team efforts in managing acquisition programs such that the result places
a capable and supportable system in the hands of the war fighting when and where
it is needed, and does so at an affordable price. This functional area represents
an integration of a complex system of differing but related functional disciplines
that must work together to achieve program goals through development, production,
deployment, operations, support, and disposal.
