List of Small Business (SB)/Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Reciprocity Partners
The organizations listed below are Reciprocity Partners with the state of California. A Reciprocity Partner is a city, county, agency, or special district that honors the state of California’s Small Business (SB) and/or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) certification as acceptance into their individual business enterprise programs.
These Reciprocity Partnerships only agree to accept and recognize the state's SB, SB-PW and DVBE certifications. The state's procurement policies, practices or procedures do not apply to these partnerships. Each reciprocity partner conducts their own procurements, separate from the state of California, following their own policies, procedures, and practices within their independent authority to do so.
Some Reciprocity Partners may also have specific local eligibility requirements that certified businesses must also meet. You may visit each partner’s website for more information on their individual programs.
These Reciprocity Partnerships allow SBs and DVBEs to go through a single certification process so their certification is valid with the state of California and the participating organization.
We continue to build more partnerships with cities, counties and special districts.
If you are a city, county or special district and are interested in becoming a Reciprocity Partner, contact us.
