SMUD awarded $97 million to SEED vendors in 2025. Today, there are more than $20 million in active SMUD bid opportunities.

For small businesses and suppliers, the opportunity is significant, but preparation matters. Many businesses wait until a bid is posted before they start getting ready. By then, certifications, registrations, proposal materials, and procurement requirements may already need to be in place.

RSBUC helps small businesses and suppliers prepare earlier, strengthen their competitiveness, and connect to contracts, capital, and expert support.
