Small Business and DVBE Participation Coordination

The contract seeks to coordinate support for compliance with subcontracting requirements by identifying, verifying, and documenting the participation of Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises, Small Businesses, and Minority Businesses in state-funded projects under the California Department of Conservation. The work requires active engagement to ensure these eligible subcontractors are appropriately recognized and their involvement is accurately recorded to meet regulatory obligations. This effort is critical to maintaining accountability and transparency in state contracting practices and advancing diversity and inclusion goals within the procurement ecosystem. The solicitation is open for responses until June 29, 2026, and is classified under NAICS code 541611, indicating a focus on management consulting services related to subcontracting coordination. The contract falls under a subcontracting type with no specified set-aside designation, meaning it is open to all qualified vendors regardless of business size or veteran or minority status, though the intent is to facilitate opportunities for the targeted subcontractor groups. Performance is expected to align with California state initiatives, and interested parties must submit responses through the CalE-Procure portal by the deadline to be considered.
