Small Business and DVBE Subcontracting Participation

Certified small businesses and disabled veteran-owned businesses may participate as subcontractors to assist prime contractors in fulfilling small business and disabled veteran business enterprise subcontracting obligations, provided they perform a commercially useful function such as delivery, logistics coordination, or other ancillary services. This opportunity is tied to a subcontracting arrangement under the California Department of Food and Agriculture, with the North American Industry Classification System code 484220 indicating a focus on truck transportation of freight, specifically for specialized or non-standardized goods. The solicitation, posted on July 17, 2026, requires responses by August 7, 2026, and is accessible through the CalEProcure portal. Participation is contingent upon proper certification and the ability to deliver tangible, value-added services that contribute meaningfully to the prime contractor’s performance. While no specific location or point of contact is provided, eligible entities should ensure alignment with state subcontracting goals and confirm compliance with all certification requirements prior to submission.
