Carson staff urges businesses to register on SupplierOne and regional portals for LA 2028 contracts
Summary
City staff highlighted two registration channels — SupplierOne and a regional marketplace (Grama/OnRamp LA) — and encouraged early registration to increase visibility for sourcing windows tied to LA 2028 procurement.
City staff told attendees that LA 28 and its regional partners will direct a large portion of spending to the greater Los Angeles region and that Carson businesses should register on the official portals to be discovered when contracts are sourced.
"The 1st 1 is called SupplierOne, and this is LA 20 eight's official supplier registration portal," the presenter said when walking businesses through how to create profiles. Staff also described a regional marketplace (referred to in the briefing as Grama/OnRamp LA) where LA 28 posts competitive sourcing opportunities, and advised businesses to maintain updated classifications and check the portals regularly.
Officials cautioned that registration does not guarantee contracts but increases visibility to more than 1,000 corporate buyers and regional procurement teams; they recommended registering on both platforms and using the city's forthcoming app and "things to do" listings to improve visitor-level exposure.
