Small Business and Diverse Supplier Participation (Reporting & Subcontracting)

The contract requires the prime contractor to actively report all subcontracting activities involving certified Small, Women-Owned, Minority-Owned, Veteran-Owned, and Emerging Small Businesses, ensuring transparency and accountability in diversity-driven procurement. This reporting obligation creates indirect but meaningful opportunities for these certified small businesses to participate in subcontracting roles, fostering inclusion and economic growth within underrepresented business communities. The mandate applies to all subcontracting efforts under the contract and is tied to compliance with federal and state diversity goals. The contract is classified as a subcontract under NAICS code 325188 and is administered by the Virginia Parks & Recreation agency, with a submission deadline of May 19, 2026. There is no formal set-aside designation, but the emphasis on reporting obligates the prime contractor to prioritize engagement with diverse suppliers. The place of performance and specific office details are not provided, but all subcontracting activity must be documented and reported per the terms outlined in the solicitation. Participation is open to qualified vendors who can demonstrate compliance with certification requirements for SBE, WBE, MBE, VBE, or ESO status.
