DBE Certified Security Services for Port Authority Projects in NY & NJ

When managing high-profile infrastructure projects in New York and New Jersey, selecting the right security provider is more than a matter of safety – it’s about compliance. For projects involving the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey (PANYNJ) or other public entities, partnering with a DBE certified security company is often a project requirement.

At Narrow Security, we are fully certified to operate as a Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) in both New York and New Jersey, with qualifications to work on contracts issued through NYNJPA and the Port Authority. This article outlines what DBE certification means – and why it matters to the success of  your project.

What Is DBE Certification and Why Does It Matter?

DBE certification is a federal designation bestowed upon business entities that are majority owned and controlled by individuals considered socially and economically disadvantaged. State and regional transportation authorities – including PANYNJ – recognize DBE status to promote equity, inclusion, and fair competition in public contracting.  For New York and New Jersey construction, transportation, or infrastructure security projects, DBE participation is not just welcomed – but mandatory, not optional. If your project entails Port Authority or NYNJPA funding, having DBE compliance is a must to remain in good standing and progress your project without hindrance.

Certified for NYNJPA and Port Authority Contracts

Narrow Security is proudly certified to provide DBE services  for a wide range of Port Authority of NY & NJ, making us a qualified subcontractor or partner for a wide range of projects, including:

• Major airports like JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark Liberty

• Bridges and tunnels: George Washington Bridge, Holland Tunnel, and Lincoln Tunnel

• Transportation and logistics hubs: Seaports, PATH stations, freight terminals and other regional infrastructure projects

• Other PANYNJ-managed facilities and infrastructure projects

We understand the regulatory landscape, clearance requirements, and operational complexity of Port Authority projects – and we tailor our services accordingly.
