Contracting pathways
Clear paths to engage Gridmark.
For California agencies
As a California-certified Small Business, Gridmark can be engaged through the state's SB/DVBE Option — agencies can contract directly with a certified small business for qualifying services and IT up to $249,999.99 — a fast, low-friction path for focused engagements. Our Micro-business designation earns priority consideration in Option awards, and our Small Business for Public Works (SB-PW) certification extends this eligibility to public-works-scoped work. We also respond to competitive solicitations on Cal eProcure and regional Sacramento-area portals.
For federal buyers & primes
Gridmark is registered on SAM.gov and discoverable through the SBA Small Business Search, with Small Business status for subcontracting opportunities. As an SBA-certified Women-Owned Small Business (WOSB), Gridmark is also eligible for WOSB set-aside opportunities.
