County DVBE Subcontractor Lists for California
(Coming Soon)
California primes keep asking the same thing: “Can you give me a clean DVBE list for my county so I’m not scrambling before bid day?”
Yes. I’m rolling out county-specific DVBE subcontractor lists—plus major-metro bundles (all counties in each urban region) and a statewide master list.
What you’ll get in each County Pack
Verified DVBE firms headquartered in the county (no “serving area” padding with extreme travel cost)
Core fields: company name, certification ID/status/expiry, primary trades, short capability notes
Contact-ready data: point of contact, phone, email, website, city + county
Targeting helpers: NAICS/CSI/keywords where available, typical project types, public past-performance mentions (when available)
Bid ops toolkit: a one-page Good-Faith Outreach checklist and contact log template (PDF) to keep documentation tight
Formats: CSV (for filtering) + quick-reference PDF
Updates: refreshed regularly; purchasers get a 90-day update window included
Who this is for
GCs/estimators needing compliant DVBE coverage without burning a week on research
Capture/proposal teams documenting good-faith outreach on deadline
Vendors building repeatable DVBE benches by region or trade
Why county-specific (and metro bundles)?
Local wins. Lists limited to firms headquartered in the county produce higher response rates and cleaner documentation. For larger pursuits, metro bundles cover every county in a given urban region, so you can scale outreach without chasing stale or irrelevant contacts.
Offerings & availability
Single-County Packs: Every California county, filtered to headquartered-in-county DVBEs
Major-Metro Bundles (all counties in each region):
Greater Los Angeles: Los Angeles, Orange, Ventura
Bay Area: Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Solano, Sonoma
San Diego Metro: San Diego

Central Valley (core): Fresno, Kern, Kings, Madera, Merced, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, Tulare
(Need another metro defined? Ask—happy to tailor.)
Statewide Master List: All headquartered California DVBEs in one normalized file (with filters)
Pricing & licensing
Straightforward pricing by county, metro bundle, or statewide. Company-internal license for legitimate public-sector pursuits; no reselling. Price will vary slightly based on the number of records in each download file.
Using the lists the right way (important)
Be targeted. Tie outreach to real scopes and share plans/addenda.
Respect consent. If a firm asks to be removed, remove them.
Document everything. Timestamp invites, call logs, quotes received, and decisions.
Don’t mass-import into Substack or bulk email without permission. Invite firms to opt in first.
Nothing here is legal advice—follow your solicitation and owner rules.
FAQ
Is this compliant with DVBE rules?
Yes—these lists identify certified firms and speed your outreach. You still must meet your owner’s DVBE goal or satisfy their good-faith documentation.
Where does the data come from?
Public certification records, agency vendor lists, and firm-published info—then verified, normalized, and filtered to headquartered-in-county only.
How current is it?
Quarterly refreshed from the source.
Do you guarantee award/goal attainment?
No. We remove the busywork of Internet searches for suitable providers so you can spend time actually calling, scoping, and closing.
Can you run the outreach for us?
Coming Soon. We will be offering bundles that include scoped emails, “ringless” voicemail - a classy service that avoids telecommunications regulations regarding cold calls, and we can also manage mass outreach for substantial public works requirements with many trades’ and service specialties’ requirements.
If you’re tired of last-minute DVBE fire drills, this is built for you. County packs for precision, metro bundles for scale, and a statewide file when you need the whole board in view.
