The program a one-day educational and networking event now in its tenth year, is the keystone of CSULB Purchasing Department's outreach and education program for small and disadvantaged businesses wishing to do business with CSULB and other public entities. CSULB OPS, consists of both educational presentation on how to do business with CSULB and other agencies and face-to-face networking opportunities between potential suppliers and buyers with real current and future needs. Begun in 1994 to serve CSULB's needs, the program has expanded to include participation by the Department of General Services, City of Los Angeles, and City of Long Beach as well as the CSU Chancellor's Office and nine of our sisters CSU campuses.
The educational portion of the program consists of two parts: 1) General "how to do business" (e.g. bidding, contracting, invoicing, etc) and 2) Specialized subjects (e.g. bonding, and how to obtain, insurance and specific requirements, certification, and how to obtain, etc). The training is provided by a combination of CSULB staff and outside professionals from various other agencies and industries, and is focused on commodities, services and construction in specific separate sessions.
The networking portion of CSULB OPS consists of a reverse vendor fair, with attending agencies staffing booths, allowing potential suppliers to meet agency purchasing staff to discuss projects in both general and specific terms.
The program has enabled CSULB and other participants agencies to increase our database of small and disadvantaged business that are trained, qualified, and ready to do business with our university and state agencies.

Public Contract Code http://www.leginfo.ca.gov/calaw.html The program has enabled CSULB and other participants agencies to increase our database of small and disadvantaged business that are trained, qualified, and ready to do business with our university and state agencies. What Worked: The number of potential vendors substantially increased, and hopefully, this will lead greater participation by and opportunities for disadvantaged small business and disabled veteran businesses. What Didn't Work: The program was completely successful. While an immediate increase in participation by small business and DVBE's would be desirable, the program is designed for long term steady growth.
