Cosmo Perception INC LCA24-0000710

The Department of Cannabis Control approved a Specialty Indoor commercial cannabis license for Cosmo Perception Inc. under California Business and Professions Code Section 26012, with solicitation number LCA24-0000710, following environmental review under the California Environmental Quality Act. The license permits operation at 1530 East 12th Street in Oakland, California, where a 7,000-square-foot former print shop will be reconfigured for indoor cannabis cultivation, featuring a 4,992-square-foot mature canopy and 984-square-foot immature canopy, with off-site packaging conducted at a licensed facility. Operations are limited to 1–2 employees working Monday through Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., and the project qualifies for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption under California Code of Regulations Title 14, Section 15332, due to its infill development status within a CIX-2 zoned industrial area and lack of significant environmental impacts. Environmental compliance is overseen by the Department’s Office of Environmental Evaluation, with Peter Buchman serving as the primary point of contact for environmental review matters. No federal acquisition regulations or associated contract clauses apply to this action, as it is governed solely by state cannabis and environmental laws rather than federal procurement statutes. The license approval process did not involve competitive bidding, formal evaluation factors, or financial pricing data, and there is no designated contract value, payment instructions, or invoicing procedures outlined. The contract does not include requirements related to packaging, labeling, barcoding, military standards, security clearances, key personnel, contract options, or socioeconomic certifications. While the applicant is a small operation with minimal staffing, no formal size or socioeconomic status certifications were submitted or verified. Environmental documentation was submitted and digitally signed on September 11, 2025, and the solicitation was publicly posted on September 25, 2025. All administrative functions, including public review of environmental records, are handled through the Department’s office in Rancho Cordova, with no formal inspection or acceptance protocols specified beyond compliance with CEQA exemption criteria.
