Volusia
County is a community of great diversity. We salute the enterprising
spirit of all our residents and encourage the growth and active
participation of our minority and women-owned businesses in our local
economy.The Volusia County
Council has established a goal of 10 percent use of disadvantaged,
minority and women-owned businesses (DBE’s) as part of the County’s vendor
pool. All vendors/contractors wishing to do business in Volusia County are
encouraged to use registered/certified DBE’s whenever possible. The
County’s definition of a DBE is any business which is at least 51 percent
owned by women, or disadvantaged, or minority group members.
Registration/certification
All businesses wishing to do business with Volusia County must first be
registered with the County. Those wishing to work on federally funded
programs must also be certified, or found to be easily certifiable by the
county.
Certification is available through Daytona
Beach International Airport at 386.248.8030 or through Votran at
386.756-7496.
Projects available through Volusia County

the Federal Transportation Security Administration;
- Community
Services, which includes Community Assistance, managing a substantial
housing rehabilitation program;
- Votran, the
County’s mass transit system, providing bus service, trolley service and
transportation for the physically challenged; and Facilities Services,
which maintains County properties and buildings.
