The Los Angeles Community College District’s (LACCD) Small Contractor Boot Camp is a four session program explicitly designed for small contractors to improve their competitive bidding capacity. Through a comprehensive curriculum, small contractors will learn more about the prequalification process for the BuildLACCD Program’s Pre-Qualified Service Provider (PQSP) bench, for projects ranging from $25K – $5M.

LACCD’s $14.9 billion building program seeks to modernize and renovate projects throughout its nine colleges. The Board of Trustees established a 30% Local, Small, Emerging, and Disabled Veteran (LSEDV) participation goal for all BuildLACCD contracts. This provides numerous opportunities for LSEDV businesses to participate in the program.
