We are committed to helping small businesses. First Coast seeks to increase the diversity of its suppliers to better serve our customers, enhance our economic impact in the communities we serve and achieve our subcontracting goals. First Coast pursues opportunities to award subcontracts to, and make purchases from, small and small disadvantaged businesses, HUBZone, women- and veteran-owned businesses, service disabled veteran-owned businesses and other underrepresented communities.

In an effort to provide information to small business vendors, we have gathered insightful links to help small business owners navigate the procurement waters. Please visit these sites for additional information regarding small business development and procurement. If you have an interest in providing goods or services to First Coast, reach out to US!
