African American Male Education Network Development (A2MEND) Grant

The State of California, through its Community Colleges Board of Governors, awarded an encumbrance-only contract to Long Beach Community College District on March 16, 2026, with a contract value of $10,000.00. This contract is classified as an encumbrance-only award, indicating a commitment of funds without a fully executed service delivery agreement at the time of award. The single line item procured under this award is the African American Male Education Network Development (A2MEND) Grant, quantified as one unit at a unit price of $10,000.00.

The A2MEND Grant represents a focused educational initiative designed to support and develop African American male students within California's community college system. As the prime contractor and awardee, Long Beach Community College District will be responsible for implementing this grant program. The contract documentation does not specify a defined performance period, geographic scope beyond the State of California, or detailed service delivery parameters, which is consistent with the encumbrance-only classification indicating preliminary fund commitment rather than a complete statement of work.
