About this file
This file contains a Small Business Procurement Initiative document from the Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR), Bureau of Administrative Services, which outlines eligibility requirements and encourages small and diverse businesses to participate in Commonwealth procurement opportunities. The initiative promotes the participation of Small Businesses (SBs) and Small Diverse Businesses (SDBs) as prime contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and professional service providers across goods, services, information technology, and construction contracts with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The related contract opportunity involves the DCNR Bureau of Forestry, Division of Forest Fire Protection, which requires a contractor to provide one FAA-certificated rotary-wing aircraft equipped with helicopter firefighting capabilities, including a water bucket, sling, shackles, cargo hook, service truck, and other necessary equipment, along with properly certificated and qualified pilots for aerial water delivery and wildfire suppression support. An addendum was issued on August 5, 2026, to clarify vendor questions, with the original due date and time remaining unchanged.
To qualify as an SB, a business must be a for-profit, independently owned United States entity that is not dominant in its field, employs no more than 100 full-time equivalent employees, and does not exceed three-year average gross revenues of $47 million. SDB certification requires first meeting SB requirements and then submitting current certification from approved third parties to the Department of General Services' Bureau of Diversity, Inclusion, and Small Business Opportunities (BDISBO). Eligible businesses can compete for contracts reserved solely for small businesses under the Commonwealth's race and gender-neutral Small Business Reserve program. Interested vendors are directed to register at https://www.dgs.pa.gov/Small%20Business%20Contracting%20Program/Pages/default.aspx, with BDISBO available for questions at (717) 783-3119 or gsbdisbo@pa.gov.

Dear Small Business Owner:
The Department of Conservation and Natural Resources is focused on proactively promoting the use of Small and/or Diverse Businesses on eligible solicitations with our agency.
The Department of General Services' Bureau of Diversity, Inclusion, and Small Business Opportunities (BDISBO) has created a process with which eligible vendors can become selfcertified as a Small Business (SB) and verified as a Small Diverse Business (SOB). Once selfcertified, vendors can be considered for contract award opportunities with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that are specifically tailored for SBs and SDBs.
These programs allow SBs and SDBs to participate as prime contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and professional service providers on Commonwealth purchase orders. Opportunities are available with the Commonwealth for goods, services, IT, and construction.
In addition, eligible businesses may compete for contracts reserved solely for small businesses under the Commonwealth's Small Business Reserve program, a race and genderneutral program open to all businesses that are SBs or SDBs.
In order to qualify as a Small Business (SB), a vendor must selfcertify that they meet the following requirements:
• The business must be a forprofit, United States business.
• The business must be independently owned.
• The business may not be dominant in its field of operation.
• The business may not employ more than 100 fulltime equivalent employees.
• The business may not exceed threeyear average gross revenues of $47 million, regardless of business type.
In order to qualify as a Small Diverse Business (SDB), a business must first selfcertify as an SB, then submit current certification from a variety of approved third parties to BDISBO.
For an overview of the program, stepbystep guide on how to selfcertify as a Small Business, and pertinent resources, please visit:

Should your business fall under these requirements, we strongly encourage you to register.
If you have any questions about the program, do not hesitate to contact BDISBO; they are reachable by phone at: (717) 7833119 or by email at: gsbdisbo@pa.gov.
Thank you for your continued support and interest in Commonwealth business opportunities!
Sincerely, Xia Wang Director Bureau of Administrative Services
