New Diversity Tracking in B2Gnow!

DES is now utilizing a web-based system for tracking the participation of Small Businesses and Minority, Women, and Veteran-Owned Businesses on our public works projects.

For Contractors

The E&AS program of DES is authorized by statute to contract for the design, construction, major repair or alteration for state owned facilities for numerous state agencies. The E&AS Project Managers represent the legal contracting authority for the state. (RCW 43.19.450).

Join the Small Works Roster

The Small Works Roster is a listing of state of Washington licensed contractors who have applied for and been placed on the roster. The Small Works Roster is used for projects under $300,000.

Organizations use the roster to generate a list of contractors based on the contractor type, type of work and project location. Contractors on the list receive instructions, usually by e-mail, on how to obtain project documents.

Although we advertise for the Small Works Roster annually, applications are accepted any time.
