The MDT Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program encourages and supports the participation of companies owned and controlled by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals in transportation contracts.

The plan allocates billions of dollars for spending on IT and IT-related projects.

The federal government’s economic stimulus plan appears to be one of the most tech-heavy pieces of legislation passed by the federal government and it represents billions of dollars worth of opportunity for IT and the tech industry in general.

The package, at $789 billion, contains provisions and allowances for IT and tech spending through government agency’s modernization plans, grants and tax incentives, and through specific tech initiatives. While health care clearly represents the largest piece of the pie, the legislation contains countless opportunities for tech vendors through a vast array of programs and proposals.
