Small Business and DVBE Subcontracting Participation

The contract opportunity supports the participation of certified Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise subcontractors under a prime contract administered by the California Department of Water Resources. It is designed to enable these certified businesses to perform commercially useful functions that contribute meaningfully to the overall project scope, ensuring genuine economic inclusion and meaningful involvement rather than token participation. The opportunity is open to eligible subcontractors who can demonstrate their capability to deliver services aligned with NAICS code 811310, which pertains to general automotive repair and maintenance. The solicitation is scheduled to close on August 11, 2026, at 10:00 PM Pacific Time, with the posting date set for July 13, 2026. This is a subcontracting opportunity, meaning that interested parties must partner with a prime contractor rather than bid directly for the main contract. While there is no specified set-aside classification or geographic detail for performance locations, all subcontracting activities must comply with applicable state requirements for certified business participation. Participation is facilitated through the CalEProcure portal, where interested small businesses and DVBEs can access further procedural details and submit expressions of interest or proposals in alignment with the prime contractor’s needs.
