Find it.
Get ready for it.
Win it.

The federal government buys more than $700 billion of goods and services a year, and by law a large share must go to small businesses. California agencies, counties and transit authorities add billions more. We help Hispanic-owned and other small businesses find that work, get ready for it, and win it.

Three ways we help

One path, three stages. From the first search to a signed award.

01

Find it

A daily feed of open contract opportunities in California and the Bay Area, filtered for small-business set-asides and the trades our members work in. Plus agency forecasts that show what is coming months before it is posted.

02

Get ready for it

A 90-day, bilingual Contractor-Ready track: SAM.gov registration, the certifications that actually move dollars, a capability statement, pricing from award history, financing, teaming. And a real bid at the end.

03

Win it

Flat-fee bid support through our Bid Desk, and introductions to prime contractors who need qualified Hispanic-owned subcontractors for Bay Area work.
