Local, Small, and Diverse Business Inclusion Planning

The contract requires the development and implementation of a subcontractor inclusion plan aimed at achieving participation goals for Minority-, Women-, Small-, Disabled Veteran-, and Other Business Enterprises under the City of Los Angeles Business Inclusion Program. The work must be performed within Los Angeles and focuses on ensuring equitable opportunities for diverse businesses in the context of professional services classified under NAICS code 541611, which covers management consulting services. The plan must align with the city’s objectives to increase the involvement of certified diverse businesses in contracting processes, with measurable targets for representation and engagement across all phases of project execution. Interested parties must submit proposals by the deadline of July 3, 2026, following the solicitation posted on June 23, 2026. This opportunity is issued through Council District 8 in California, and while no formal set-aside designation is specified, the expectation is clear: contractors must actively identify, engage, and integrate qualified MBE/WBE/SBE/DVBE/OBE firms into their subcontracting strategy. Success will be evaluated based on the effectiveness of the plan in meeting or exceeding established participation benchmarks, demonstrating commitment to economic inclusion, and maintaining compliance with the city’s diversity standards throughout the duration of the project.
