The MWBE certification is a state- and local-level designation for businesses at least 51% owned and operated by women (WBE) or members of a minority group (MBE). This program is typically managed by state, county, and city agencies, and it provides opportunities for businesses to secure contracts on projects that receive state or local government funding. MWBE status is also widely recognized in the private sector through corporate supplier diversity programs. 5D is a certified WBE in New York State and North Carolina, and recognized as such by some local entities such as NYC and The City of Charlotte.

The DBE certification is a federally-mandated program. It is primarily used for projects funded by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), such as highway, airport, and public transit projects. The DBE designation is for small businesses that are owned by socially and economically disadvantaged individuals, which includes, but is not limited to, women and minorities. This certification is granted by state transportation authorities as part of a federally-backed program. 5D is recognized as a DBE, by the DOT, in both NC and NYS.
