This obligation applies to all contractors participating in the procurement and mandates the inclusion of measurable targets for engaging certified disadvantaged business enterprises, with thorough documentation of progress and adherence to program standards throughout the contract period.

The work is tied to a subcontract under NAICS code 541611 and is performed in Salem, Oregon with a response deadline of June 2, 2026. The contracting agency is the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife, and full compliance with the certified outreach plan is mandatory as a condition of award.

Contractors are expected to proactively engage certified disadvantaged businesses, maintain accurate records of all outreach activities, and provide periodic reports to demonstrate continuous progress toward federally and state-mandated participation targets.
