Small Business (CSB/MBE/FBE) Subconsultant Services

The contract seeks a certified small business subcontractor to provide specialized engineering, surveying, or technical services in support of a larger public utilities project in Ohio, with the explicit purpose of helping the prime contractor meet its 10 percent participation goal for certified small businesses, minority-owned businesses, and female-owned businesses. The work must align with NAICS code 541330 and is intended to fulfill federal and state compliance requirements related to diversity and small business inclusion in public infrastructure contracts. The solicitation window closes on May 29, 2026, at 4:00 PM, and only respondents who hold appropriate certifications as a CSB, MBE, or FBE are eligible to submit proposals. The services required will be delivered as a subcontract under a prime contractor managing a public utilities initiative, with performance expectations tied to meeting specific diversity benchmarks rather than a defined scope of work. There is no stated location for performance beyond the state of Ohio, and the contract is not tied to a specific solicitation number or government agency beyond the general classification under Public Utilities. Interested parties must ensure their certification status is current and valid at the time of proposal submission, and all interactions will occur through the designated online portal linked for this opportunity.
