The Gateway to Subcontracting
Firms who value supplier diversity in their procurement will have a Supplier Diversity Manager. 
By and large, prime contractors have a vested interest in establishing relationships and doing business with the small business community. This is precisely why Supplier Diversity Managers are critical to this goal, but identifying these individuals and their contact information can sometimes be challenging.

Time to Pivot!
If you haven't adjusted your business operations to the current environment or weren't sure how, California Governor’s Office has got you covered. Shop Safe Shop Local, a campaign run by the Office of the Small Business Advocate (CalOSBA), connects small businesses with consulting, training, and resources to help you reopen safely, get funding, and create online strategies. Corporate partners include Google, eBay, UPS, Quickbooks, and more. Along with special discounts, programs and guides, this initiative can also connect you with local manufacturers of non-medical protective gear (donation and purchase).
