FAA D O O R S https://www.faa.gov/secure/doors/

• Electronic reporting system for annual DBE awards and ACDBE participation accomplishments

• Created by FAA in 2003 to:– provide an easier, more efficient method of

submitting & recording DBE data.– prepare and design unique DBE and ACDBE

data reports.– effectively respond to requests from

Washington Headquarters.



• DOT’s Office of Small Business and Disadvantaged Business Utilization (OSDBU) created a new enhanced DOORS for use by all DBE modal administrations; FAA, FTA and FHWA.

• Similar design as FAA DOORS with some differences in operations.

• Updated and enhanced automation and performance.

• Currently populated with FY-2009 DBE uniform award accomplishment reports for FAA, FTA and FHWA.

• 2010 DBE uniform award accomplishment reports will be added

2011-2012 - Transitioning to New DOT DOORS



DOT DOORS for FAA • Includes reporting for:

• DBE and ACDBE uniform reporting forms

• DBE Contractors and ACDBE firms forms

- All data in FAA DOORS will be transferred to DOT DOORS



DOT DOORS• New user accounts have been created for all

airport recipients that currently have a user account in FAA DOORS– Airport recipients will receive a letter and

guidance pertaining to the new DOORS followed by an email message containing a new user ID.

– Airport recipients will be able to create their own password.



• Differences between FAA DOORS and DOT DOORS for airport recipients– User accounts can only be created by FAA (or FHWA,

FTA for their recipients)– DBE Awards menu includes a Save option, i.e., users

can enter partial data, save it and return later to edit or complete the data

– Forgot password option – sends a link to your email to reset your password

• The website is open for airport data entry at the beginning of each month for 5 days.



•All sponsors receiving ARRA Grants must have "back up" documentation for the ARRA DBE data entered in SOAR

•e.g. contracts, invoices, etc., should be readily available and accessible for review in case of an audit.

•It is very important that the integrity of the DBE data can be confirmed.
