The Governor’s Office of Land Use and Climate Innovation (LCI) actively seeks to do business with certified Small Businesses (SBs) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBEs) to provide goods and services. LCI adheres to the Department of General Services’ (DGS) guidelines to establish and meet annual contracting goals of 25% for SBs and 3% for DVBEs by promoting equitable access to procurement opportunities.

For contracting and procurement opportunities, LCI utilizes the California State Government Marketplace, also known as Cal eProcure, to advertise solicitations for goods and services.
