For Sacramento-area businesses, winning government contracts isn’t just for the big players. Whether you’re in construction, consulting, or professional services, local governments offer consistent, lucrative opportunities.
Why It Matters: The State of California spends billions annually on goods and services, notes the California Department of General Services. Many contracts are earmarked for small and diverse businesses.
How to Get Started:
Get Certified – Becoming a certified Small Business (SB) or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) opens doors to set-aside contracts.
Understand the Process – Review bid opportunities on Cal eProcure (caleprocure.ca.gov) and stay compliant with state procurement guidelines.
Build Relationships – Attend local procurement fairs. “Networking is key to winning contracts,” says GovWin, a government contracting resource.
