LICENSE AGREEMENT WITH HOMEBOY INDUSTRIES AT THE MARTIN LUTHER KING JR. BEHAVIORAL HEALTH CENTER

The County of Los Angeles has entered into a five-year license agreement with Homeboy Industries to operate a retail food concession at the Martin Luther King Jr. Behavioral Health Center located at 12021 Wilmington Avenue in Willowbrook, California, with an option to renew for an additional four years. The concession space was constructed during the facility’s 2020 renovation and is designated for public food service operations, with no new construction or major modifications required. The agreement was approved by the Board of Supervisors on December 9, 2025, and formally executed on December 12, 2025, under a special notice action compliant with California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) Section 15301, which categorically exempts the project from further environmental review as it involves the minor operation of an existing facility. The County’s Chief Executive Office, specifically Helena Dedic, serves as the primary point of contact for administrative oversight, though no formal contracting officer, COR, or COTR is explicitly designated. No pricing, payment terms, or financial obligations are disclosed in the documentation, and there are no line-item contracts, CLINs, or cost structures outlined, indicating the arrangement is not a traditional procurement contract but rather a licensing agreement permitting operational use of County property. The agreement does not include provisions for packaging, marking, preservation, inspection criteria, quality standards, or technical specifications, nor does it require socioeconomic certifications, UEI/CAGE codes, or federal acquisition regulation clauses. Submission requirements center on a Notice of Exemption and certified exemption documentation filed with the State Clearinghouse, with no formal proposal format, page limits, or electronic submission portal mandated. The license permits Homeboy Industries to operate a public-facing food concession under existing infrastructure, subject to compliance with applicable state and local regulations, including hazardous waste disclosures under Government Code Section 65962.5, but no performance metrics, delivery schedules, or acceptance protocols are specified.
