Small and Minority-Owned Business Participation (Supplier Outreach Opportunity)

The City of Pomona’s Finance/Purchasing Department is offering an opportunity for certified Minority Business Enterprise, Women Business Enterprise, and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise suppliers to engage in city-related contracting through supplier outreach initiatives. This is not a formal subcontracting opportunity with mandatory requirements, but rather a voluntary inclusion effort aimed at increasing the participation of diverse suppliers in city projects. Prime contractors are encouraged to work with certified MBE, WBE, or DBE firms to support local economic development and meet the city’s broader outreach goals, though no formal subcontracting plan is required. The initiative is designed to foster relationships and create visibility for certified businesses without imposing binding obligations on prime vendors. This opportunity is open to eligible suppliers who respond by the deadline of August 13, 2026, at 10:00 PM Pacific Time, with the solicitation posted on July 20, 2026. While no NAICS code, set-aside classification, or specific contracting details are provided, the initiative is structured as a subcontract outreach program under the auspices of the City of Pomona in California. Interested suppliers are encouraged to visit the provided portal link for additional information, submission guidelines, and potential alignment with upcoming project needs. There is no formal bid or proposal submission required, but engagement through this platform enhances a supplier’s chances of being considered by prime contractors pursuing city projects.
