Public Notice of FY 2025 DBE Goal - Talgo, Inc.

Talgo, Inc., is a Transit Vehicle Manufacturer with manufacturing facilities in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.  Talgo has established a DBE Goal in accordance with USDOT DBE Rule 49 CFR Part 26.45(c)(1) (https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-49/subtitle-A/part-26 ). 

Talgo’s overall DBE goal for FY 2025 (Oct. 1, 2024 to Sept. 30, 2025) is 2.42%  of the total amount of domestic contracted dollars we will expend on FTA-assisted contracts should any be awarded.

Talgo is seeking DBEs certified under 49 CFR Part 26 and SBEs meeting SBA standards to submit technical and commercial proposals to us for materials and services we may require to manufacture passenger buses/vans.

The potential supplier work scope may include:

We determined the DBEs matching targeted NAICS codes in our market from State DOT DBE directories in Wisconsin and New York. Using the Census Bureau's County Business Pattern (https://www.census.gov/programs-surveys/cbp.html) data base, we determined the number of all firms that perform work in the same NAICS codes in our market. We divided the number of DBEs by the number of all businesses to derive a base figure for the relative availability of DBEs in our market.

Talgo’s proposed goal and its rationale are available for inspection during normal business hours at our principal office and will accept comments on the goal.  Comments may be sent to:
