State Contracting Opportunities Available for Eligible Businesses

A wide range of construction-related work is available for contractors through the California Department of General Services (DGS) Real Estate Services and Procurements divisions once you become certified as a Small Business and Disabled Veterans Business Enterprise (DVBE).

General construction; heating, ventilation and air conditioning; concrete work; plumbing; and flooring are just a few of the opportunities. The contracting work is part of general repair and maintenance for statewide DGS-controlled buildings and grounds. DVBE-certified businesses are granted certain benefits during the bidding process.

DGS also holds statewide Small Business and DVBE outreach events throughout the year to acquaint business owners with the certification process and how to find state government work. Look here for the 2014-2015 schedule of events.
