SBE/MBE/WBE Outreach and Subcontracting Coordination

The contract titled SBE/MBE/WBE Outreach and Subcontracting Coordination is focused on assisting the prime contractor in meeting good faith efforts to include certified small, minority-, and women-owned businesses in subcontracting opportunities. This involves proactive outreach to identify eligible businesses, maintaining thorough documentation of engagement efforts, and preparing accurate compliance reports to demonstrate adherence to diversity and inclusion requirements. The work is tied to a specific NAICS code 541611, indicating professional, scientific, and technical services, and is managed by the East Baton Rouge City Parish Purchasing agency under the State of Louisiana. All activities must align with state and federal subcontracting goals aimed at expanding economic participation by underrepresented business groups. The solicitation was posted on June 18, 2026, with a response deadline of July 2, 2026, at 5:00 PM. It is classified as a subcontracting opportunity without a specific set-aside designation, meaning it supports broader diversity objectives rather than reserving the contract exclusively for certain business categories. The place of performance and point of contact details are unspecified, but all efforts are expected to be coordinated through the Louisiana state purchasing system via the provided UI link. Contractors must be prepared to demonstrate measurable actions and verifiable records to satisfy compliance expectations throughout the term of the agreement.
