Small Business and DVBE Subcontracting Participation

This contract opportunity enables certified small businesses, disabled veteran-owned businesses, local enterprises, social enterprises, and community business enterprises to participate as subcontractors in information technology service projects managed by the Internal Services Department of California. The initiative prioritizes inclusion and economic development by providing targeted access to subcontracting roles within the IT sector, specifically under NAICS code 541511, which covers custom computer programming services. Participation is open to firms that meet the certification requirements for the designated categories, with the goal of increasing equitable representation in state-led technology contracts. The solicitation is posted with a response deadline of July 10, 2026, and the primary place of performance is in Los Angeles. While no specific set-aside type is designated, the structure is designed to foster subcontracting opportunities aligned with state diversity and local economic objectives. Interested firms must submit their proposals by the stated deadline through the provided online portal, and participation is expected to involve active engagement in delivering IT services as part of a larger contractor’s scope. There is no designated point of contact listed, so all inquiries should be directed via the official bidding link.
