The best ways for a smaller construction firm to get their foot in the door at the Port is to:
- Sign up to be on our small works roster (for Projects less than $300,000 - which includes contracts under $40k where contractors are contacted directly) by registering onto VendorConnect and selecting “Small Works” under the “Roster Tags” field in your VendorConnect vendor profile.
- Reach out to the Port of Seattle Job Order Contract contractor Centennial (with a cc to [email protected]) who is required to subcontract at least 90% of the work, and has a 16% WMBE commitment and 5% DBE goal.
