Emerald Ventures, Inc

Emerald Ventures, Inc. has been authorized to operate a storefront retail cannabis business at 12010 Long Beach Blvd., Lynwood, California, within an existing 3,500 square foot building. The project includes retail sales of cannabis products and non-storefront delivery services, with no structural modifications proposed beyond the building’s current use. The site is serviced by existing municipal utilities provided by the City of Lynwood, and the operation complies with local zoning and the city’s General Plan. The project qualifies for a Class 32 Categorical Exemption under the California Environmental Quality Act, confirming it as environmentally benign infill development and eliminating the need for a full environmental impact report. Regulatory approval was granted under the authority of the California Department of Cannabis Control, which oversees licensing pursuant to the Business and Professions Code. The license application was submitted on February 24, 2025, and publicly available environmental documentation supports the exemption determination. Although the project is classified as a forecast and lacks formal contract numbering, pricing data, or a defined performance period, operational compliance with state and local cannabis regulations serves as the primary condition of authorization. No federal acquisition regulations, contract clauses, or procurement evaluation factors apply, as this is a state-issued regulatory license rather than a federally governed procurement action. The Department of Cannabis Control is the sole approving entity, with no designated contracting officer’s representative or formal invoice submission processes outlined, and all administrative correspondence is handled through the Cultivation Licensing Branch in Rancho Cordova.
