SBE Subcontracting Coordination

The contract titled SBE Subcontracting Coordination requires the contractor to facilitate and report the participation of Small Business Enterprises as subcontractors on state-funded projects under the Arizona Design and Construction Procurement agency. This includes the full lifecycle of SBE engagement, from identifying and nominating eligible small businesses to ensuring compliance with all necessary documentation and reporting standards. The contractor must track and verify SBE involvement throughout the project lifecycle, maintaining accurate records and submitting timely reports to demonstrate adherence to small business participation goals. The solicitation is open for responses until August 7, 2026, and falls under NAICS code 541611, which corresponds to management consulting services. Although the place of performance and point of contact details are not specified, the work is tied to Arizona state construction and design projects where SBE participation is a required component. The contract is classified as a subcontract type and does not involve a formal set-aside designation, meaning the focus is on promoting and verifying SBE involvement within existing procurement frameworks rather than reserving the award exclusively for small businesses. All coordination activities must be completed through the designated state procurement portal linked in the solicitation.
