Other Business Opportunities
The District of Columbia has many open solicitation opportunities for businesses to participate in. The portal contains a listing of all open solicitations, including those unrelated to the coronavirus (COVID-19) public health emergency.
Learning How to Do Business with the District
Learning how to do business with the Government of the District of Columbia has never been easier. The District offers two unique workshops: the General Vendor Workshop and the DC Supply Schedule Workshop.
CBE Set Aside
The COVID-19 Response Supplemental Emergency Amendment Act of 2020 requires for contracts
that 50 percent of the dollar value be subcontracted to qualified small business enterprises (SBEs) absent a waiver from the Department of Small, Local, and Business Development. If there is an insufficient number of SBEs, 50 percent of the dollar volume of such contracts must be subcontracted to qualified certified business enterprises (CBEs). The contractor must, however, make its best efforts to ensure significant SBE participation in the subcontracts.
Donations
The District of Columbia welcomes your support in acquiring critical supplies to support the coronavirus (COVID-19) response efforts. If you or your organization are interested in donating supplies to the District, please visit Serve DC’s coronavirus (COVID-19) portal to learn more about the District’s donation opportunities.
