Small Business, Big Outcomes Program
UC Design + Construction SBE and DVBE Programs
The University of California, Design and Construction department is proud to promote our Small Businesses, Big Outcomes initiative—an intentional effort to foster meaningful partnerships between our campuses and Small Business Enterprises (SBEs) as well as Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBEs).
As one of California’s largest public developers, UC recognizes the vital role small businesses play in shaping vibrant, inclusive communities. Through this program, we aim to expand opportunities for SBE/DVBEs to contribute to the University’s mission—enhancing the educational experience for generations of Californians to come.
This page offers essential resources and guidance to help you and your firm engage with UC projects. We invite you to explore the tools provided and discover how your business can make a lasting impact.
