Small Business Affidavit & Local Vendor Participation

The County of Riverside is offering a preference opportunity for small, local, and veteran-owned businesses to increase their chances of participating in a subcontract solicitation by submitting an affidavit that verifies their status. Businesses that complete and submit the required affidavit by the deadline will be prioritized in the evaluation process, ensuring greater access to contract opportunities for those that meet the specified criteria. This initiative is designed to foster economic growth within the local community and support underrepresented business owners by giving them a structured advantage in the procurement process. The submission window is limited, with responses due by August 14, 2026, at 8:30 PM Pacific Time. Interested parties must act promptly to ensure their affiliation status is officially recognized prior to the deadline. While the solicitation number and NAICS code are not provided, the opportunity is exclusively tied to subcontracting activities under the County of Riverside’s procurement framework. Participation requires no additional fees and is accessible through the public procurement portal linked in the posting, with all necessary documentation available online for download and completion.
