Small Business or DVBE Subcontracting Participation Opportunity

This opportunity is open to certified Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) subcontractors seeking to engage in training or compliance-related work under a contract managed by the California Department of State Hospitals. The solicitation targets businesses certified under state programs and offers a potential 5% price preference incentive to encourage participation, aiming to increase subcontracting opportunities for disadvantaged firms. The North American Industry Classification System code is 611512, indicating the work involves other schools and instruction services, likely related to workforce training or regulatory compliance programs delivered within the state hospital system. The opportunity is posted as a subcontracting engagement with a response deadline of August 18, 2026, at 10:30 PM Pacific Time. Performance is expected to take place in Los Angeles, California, with no specific office address or point of contact listed, suggesting the procurement is administered through the state’s eProcurement system. Interested parties must submit their expressions of interest or proposals through the California eProcurement portal before the deadline, and eligibility is contingent upon holding valid Small Business or DVBE certification. No formal set-aside designation is specified, but the incentive structure is designed to promote equitable participation by certified minority and veteran-owned enterprises in state-funded activities.
