SB/DVBE Emergency Registry – State Department Information
Quickly identify certified businesses during an emergency
Published on
September 30, 2021
The
SB/DVBE
Emergency Registry
was developed to simplify the identification of certified businesses during an emergency. The registry is designed specifically to meet the needs of state departments to aid them in connecting with certified businesses who can quickly offer specialized emergency goods and services. By increasing contracting opportunities for certified businesses, our economy is strengthened, and departments are better able to meet their annual 25% SB and 3% DVBE contracting goals.
What is the SB/DVBE Emergency Registry?
The SB/DVBE Emergency Registry is a dedicated searchable listing of certified businesses that are ready and able to deploy goods or services to state departments during the event of an emergency. Unlike Cal eProcure, this portal will only include businesses that provide goods and services contained in emergency categories (listed below). This list of predefined emergency categories has been developed based on the past needs of the state during emergencies. State department buyers will be able to access and search this pool of suppliers during state emergencies.
What types of businesses are included in the SB/DVBE Emergency Registry?
Certified businesses (SB, Microbusiness, SB-PW, and DVBE) that can deliver on-demand emergency goods and services (in the categories below) are invited to register their business. Only SB/DVBE businesses who are currently ready and able to support the state of California in an emergency should register.  The registry requires that businesses have an active SB/DVBE certification number to register.
