Small/Micro Business Compliance and Certification Support

The contract seeks to provide advisory and documentation services to assist contractors in achieving San Mateo County’s Office of Small Business Development certification and complying with IRS Form 990 requirements for nonprofit entities. The support will focus on guiding applicants through the necessary steps to meet certification criteria, ensuring proper documentation, and navigating regulatory expectations to qualify for County contracting opportunities. Services are intended to enhance accessibility for small and micro businesses seeking to engage with public sector contracts by reducing administrative barriers and improving compliance readiness. This subcontract, identified by NAICS code 541611, is administered by the Human Resources Department of California and is open for responses until June 20, 2026. There is no specified set-aside designation, and the work is expected to be performed without a defined location, though the services directly support compliance for entities doing business in San Mateo County. Interested parties must prepare and submit proposals by the deadline to offer expertise in certification processes and nonprofit reporting standards, with the goal of increasing participation and equity in County contracting programs.
