Subcontracting to DVBE/SB Firms

The contract opportunity is designed to support California Department of Veterans Affairs’ commitment to state participation goals by enabling Disadvantaged Veteran Business Enterprises and small businesses to act as subcontractors on a prime contract. Subcontractors are expected to perform commercially useful functions that contribute meaningfully to the overall project scope, ensuring meaningful involvement rather than nominal participation. The North American Industry Classification System code 811490 indicates the work relates to other personal service activities, likely involving support services aligned with veteran-related programs or facility operations. The solicitation is open for responses until July 16, 2026, with the opportunity posted on July 2, 2026. Performance of the subcontracted work is specifically tied to Monterey, California, though no further location details are provided. The contract does not specify a set-aside classification, but it is structured explicitly to encourage DVBE and small business engagement under state procurement requirements. Interested parties must register and respond through the CalE-Procure portal linked in the posting, where detailed requirements, evaluation criteria, and submission instructions will be available.
