Commitment to Women, Minority, Disadvantaged and Long Beach Business Enterprises

The City is committed to provide maximum opportunities for small, disadvantaged, minority, women and Long Beach business enterprises to compete successfully in supplying our needs for products and services. We do this by placing a high priority on outreach and contacting businesses through trade fairs and local, minority and women business associations. We want to make it as easy as possible to do business with Long Beach.
