DVBE outreach ads for California bids

Why primes advertise for DVBEs
Many California state contracts set a DVBE participation goal, and some local agencies and funding programs ask for documented outreach to DVBE firms. The hard part is finding certified firms in the right trade and region before bid day.
Contracts awarded by the Department of General Services require meeting the DVBE participation goal itself; a good faith effort is not accepted in its place there. Outreach still matters, because it's how you find the firms you need. Rules differ by agency, so follow your bid documents.
