What to know
Before you bid
Attend our free online workshop Bidding on City Contracts. (This workshop is required for all newly certified LBEs.)
What to do
1. Search for open City Contracts
Many of the City’s open general and professional services contract opportunities are advertised through the City’s Supplier Portal. Use the Supplier Portal to search for:
- Contracting opportunities
- Businesses to partner or subcontract with
2. Search for a department contract
Some City departments that conduct a high volume of contracting have their own contract portals.
Visit the portals or contact individual departments:
- Municipal Transportation Agency (SFMTA): 415-701-4443
- Port: 415-274-0400
- Department of Public Health
- Department of Public Works: 415-554-6229

- Mayor's Office of Housing Community Development (MOHCD projects are not issued by the City but may be subject to LBE or SBE goals.)
(TICD and UCSF are not City-run departments, but creating contracting opportunities for small business professionals is an objective of the development projects.)
3. Check with individual departments
If there’s a department or service area that you’re interested in with no currently advertised contracts, you may also want to visit the department’s website to receive updates on future contracting and funding opportunities.
