Emerging Small Business certification is for small businesses seeking contracting opportunities on projects specifically designated for ESB participation. The ESB program is a race-and-gender-neutral program.
Program participation is restricted to Oregon-based firms with 20 or fewer employees whose average annual gross receipts over the last three years don´t exceed $1.5 million for construction firms and $600,000 for non-construction-related firms. An ESB must be a properly licensed, legally registered, and independently owned Oregon firm.
