About Us
Welcome to the Caltrans Contracting Opportunities Portal!
At Caltrans, we are dedicated to improving and saving lives through our people-first approach. Guided by our core principles of Safety, Climate Action, Economic Prosperity, and Equity, we strive to ensure that all Californians, especially those in underserved communities, benefit from our transportation system.
Our commitment is to enhance accessibility for businesses seeking opportunities within our organization. The Caltrans Contracting Opportunities Portal website currently focuses on construction contracting opportunities. It is designed to aggregate construction work contracting opportunities from the Caltrans Contractors Corner and the Department of General Services (DGS) California State Contracts Register (CSCR) Cal eProcure websites into one user-friendly platform.
What the Website Does
- Centralized Access: Consolidate information on Caltrans construction contracts, making it easier for contractors to find relevant opportunities.
- User-Friendly Platform: Facilitate access to contracting opportunities for construction contractors.
- Contract Grouping: Organizes projects by geographic location—Caltrans districts—both visually and in text.
- Seamless Redirection: Redirect users to Contractors Corner or Cal eProcure for specific opportunities they select.
- Focuses on Licensed Projects: Currently includes only projects that require a Contractors State License Board (CSLB) contractor’s license. The website displays contractors’ licenses that constitute a majority of the work. Other licenses may be required for incidental work in the individual projects.
- Enhanced Search Functionality: Enables users to search for projects by one or a combination of project descriptions, keywords, Caltrans district, county, or contractor’s license(s) that that constitute a majority of the work.
We are thrilled to introduce this new tool designed to support construction contractors across the state, particularly small and disadvantaged businesses, by providing easier access to contracting opportunities with Caltrans. Stay tuned for further updates as we continue to develop and enhance the portal.
