The Pennsylvania Unified Certification Program (PA UCP) New Website

The Pennsylvania Unified Certification Program (PA UCP) website has a new look. It is now being hosted by B2GNOW, the nation’s leading diversity management software firm. The new PAUCP website has enhanced online functionalities while continuing to allow DBE certification applicants and certified vendors the same functionality as the previous website.

Certification- and compliance-specific questions will still be answered by your certifying agency contacts.
