Equal Opportunity Contracting

Programs

The Equal Opportunity Contracting (EOC) Program manages the following programs:

  • Small Local Business Enterprises (SLBE) Program
    It is the City of San Diego's policy to encourage greater availability, capacity development, and contract participation by small local business enterprises in City contracts.
  • Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) Program
    The City's DBE Program helps ensure that disadvantaged businesses have a fair opportunity to compete for and participate in the City's federally funded transportation and aviation contracts.
  • Title VI Program
    The City's Title VI Program ensures compliance with the Civil Rights Act by prohibiting discrimination in federally funded programs and services, promoting equitable access, and providing a process for individuals to file discrimination complaints.

EOC also maintains a partnership with the federal government that is geared towards aiding the growth of small and emerging business contractors:

  • Small Business Administration (SBA) Program
    The mission of the U. S. Small Business Administration (SBA) is to aid, counsel, assist, and protect the interests of small business by providing financial, contractual, and business development assistance and advocating on their behalf within the government.
