The primary responsibility involves proactively identifying and vetting qualified DBE/WBE/MBE suppliers capable of supporting project needs, ensuring alignment with compliance standards, and meticulously documenting all good-faith efforts undertaken to meet these objectives. This includes maintaining detailed records of outreach activities, supplier outreach logs, correspondence, and any other evidence required to demonstrate compliance during audits or reviews. Performance will be centered in Happy Valley, Oregon, with a strict deadline for submission on May 15, 2026. The work falls under NAICS code 541611, indicating a focus on management consulting services related to procurement and compliance.

Failure to provide adequate documentation of good-faith efforts could result in non-compliance penalties, making accuracy, thoroughness, and regulatory expertise essential to successful contract execution.
