Be Water Holdings Inc (Project)

Be Water Holdings Inc. has been approved for a Type 12 microbusiness commercial cannabis license by the California Department of Cannabis Control, authorizing operations at 499 High Street in Oakland, California, within a 15,600-square-foot industrial-zoned building. The licensed activities include indoor cannabis cultivation with a canopy of up to 10,000 square feet, delivery-only nonstorefront retail covering 1,000 square feet, and transport-only distribution also spanning 1,000 square feet, replacing a prior small cultivation license at the site. The project qualifies for categorical exemptions under the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA), specifically Class 1 for use of existing structures without expansion and Class 32 for urban infill development, ensuring compliance with state environmental regulations without requiring an environmental impact report. All operations are confined to the existing building footprint, with no proposed expansion of use or significant environmental impact anticipated, and the facility operates under strict spatial and zoning constraints aligned with local land use standards. The licensing decision was finalized on November 12, 2025, and the public record was posted on July 15, 2026, though no formal contract value, pricing structure, or procurement method was established, as this is a regulatory licensing action rather than a competitive federal acquisition. No Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) clauses, payment terms, accounting codes, contracting officer details, or delivery schedules apply, and no standard federal representations, certifications, or submission formats were required or referenced in the process. The Department of Cannabis Control retains oversight authority, with Liana Huang, Environmental Scientist, serving as the point of contact for environmental evaluation matters. The approval is contingent on adherence to California Business and Professions Code Section 26012 and associated regulations under Title 14 of the California Code of Regulations, with no federal reporting, invoicing systems, COR/COTR assignments, or packaging specifications involved. Performance is limited to the Oakland location, and the entity holds no federal small business designation, UEI, or CAGE code, reflecting the purely state-level regulatory nature of this authorization.
