Subcontractor for Small Business (SB), DVBE, or MB Participation

The subcontractor is engaged to provide labor, materials, or services that support the prime contractor’s compliance with California’s socioeconomic participation requirements, specifically targeting Small Business, Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise, and Minority Business participation goals. This engagement is integral to fulfilling state-mandated goals under programs such as SB, DVBE, and MB, ensuring equitable economic opportunity and inclusion in public contracting. The work must align with the North American Industry Classification System code 541330, which pertains to scientific and technical consulting services, indicating that the subcontractor’s contributions will likely involve advisory, analytical, or technical support functions tied to state environmental initiatives under the State Air Resources Board. The opportunity was posted on April 25, 2026, with a firm deadline for responses set for May 11, 2026, at 10:00 PM Pacific Time. Participation is restricted to subcontractors who can demonstrate capacity to meet the specified socioeconomic participation targets, and the place of performance is within California, though no specific city or zip code is identified. The contract is not subject to a formal set-aside designation, but compliance with state socioeconomic objectives is mandatory. Interested parties must engage through the California eProcurement portal, and eligibility hinges on verifiable certification under California’s SB, DVBE, or MB programs, with performance expectations tied directly to the prime contractor’s obligations to the State Air Resources Board.
