Application guidance

Artists and creative businesses should first register as a vendor on the County's procurement system to receive notifications. Review open solicitations regularly, as opportunities are posted continuously. Pay close attention to eligibility requirements, submission deadlines, and required documents; incomplete or late submissions are typically disqualified. For arts-related contracts, demonstrate relevant experience and capacity, and consider partnering with established vendors if you are new to government contracting. Utilize County resources such as workshops and vendor fairs to understand the process. Ensure all certifications (e.g., small business, local business) are current to leverage preferences. Direct questions to the listed contact for each solicitation, and always submit proposals through the designated online system.
