Small, Minority, Women-Owned, and Disadvantaged Business Participation Support

San Diego County seeks to advance socioeconomic inclusion by encouraging contractors to partner with certified small, minority, women-owned, and disadvantaged businesses in the delivery of behavioral health services or related administrative support. The contract promotes the use of subcontracting or joint ventures with businesses certified as DBE, MBE, WBE, or ESB to ensure equitable participation in public health initiatives. This initiative is aligned with the NAICS code 621330, which encompasses offices of mental health and substance abuse practitioners, underscoring the focus on behavioral health service delivery. The opportunity is open for responses until August 26, 2026, with a posted date of July 15, 2026, and performance is expected to occur within San Diego. While no specific set-aside designation or point of contact is provided, participation is intended to strengthen local economic equity by embedding inclusive business practices into the county’s behavioral health infrastructure.
