The United States Department of Transportation recently issued an interim final rule (IFR) that took effect on October 3, 2025. The full text of the IFR is available in the Federal Register. This rule change amends the federal Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program (49 CFR part 26) and the Airport Concession Disadvantaged Business Enterprise program (49 CFR part 23), removing race- and gender-based presumptions of social and economic disadvantage from the process of certifying businesses to participate in both programs.

We understand this raises many questions for certified businesses, prime contractors, and other partners. The IFR states that:

As originally authorized by Congress, the DBE and ACDBE programs automatically presumed certain groups (such as women and federally recognized minority business owners) to be socially and economically disadvantaged. However, the federal government now takes the position that such race- and gender-based presumptions are unconstitutional and should not be enforced.

Under the new rules, Unified Certification Programs (UCPs) may no longer rely on race- or gender-based presumptions when determining DBE/ACDBE eligibility.

The new rules state that all new applicants and currently certified firms must provide documentation showing they meet both social and economic disadvantage criteria. Currently certified firms who do not meet the new criteria are to be decertified. Until all currently certified firms are re-evaluated under the new standards set forth in the IFR, no DBE goals may be set on contracts, nor may DBE participation on existing contract goals be counted toward the overall agency goal.

City Of Tacoma Waste Management We’re pleased to announce that glass recycling has resumed at five drop-off locations across Tacoma, effective immediately. 🌎💚

After a temporary pause since September due to changes in the international glass market, our Environmental Services team conducted an in-depth environmental and economic analysis to find a sustainable solution. Tacoma’s glass will now be sent to a processing facility in Portland, Oregon, where your glass will be responsibly recycled into new products.

Thank you to our customers for your patience and to our dedicated staff for working quickly and efficiently to find a path forward for glass recycling. Learn more and find a glass recycling drop-off near you at tacomarecycles.org/glass.
