LA County DCBA Department Recognition Awards
INFO ALERT - LA County DCBA Small Business Contracting Opportunities
Last month, Chairman of the Board, Supervisor Mark Ridley-Thomas and BizFed partner, Department of Consumer and Business Affairs (DCBA) co-hosted the Los Angeles County Department Recognition Awards.
As part of the
Contracting Connections small business utilization plan, the County has partnered with
BizFed to connect Local Small Business Enterprises (LSBEs) with county contracting opportunities.

“For all the County departments, because of your efforts, we’ve been able to increase procurement awards to our certified businesses by over
$100 million in one year,” said DCBA Director Brian J. Stiger.
