The ACDBE Program is a federal program applicable to airports that receive federal funds through grants from the FAA.
The ACDBE Program aims to create a level playing field where small businesses owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals can equitably compete for concession contracts, either as an operator or supplier at DEN, as well as other airports receiving federal funding throughout Colorado. 49 CFR 23.1
The Denver International Airport (DEN) serves as the certifying agent for the ACDBE Program. DEN’s ACDBE Program team works closely with interested firms through every step of the certification process.
