Carson staff tell businesses to register on SupplierOne, GRAMa and OnRampLA for LA28 contracts
Summary
City staff urged local businesses to register on LA28 and regional procurement portals (SupplierOne, GRAMa, OnRampLA), noting LA28's regional-spend commitment and that registration improves visibility though does not guarantee contracts.
City staff told local vendors that registering on LA28's SupplierOne and the regional GRAMa portal and on OnRampLA will increase their chance of being discovered for games-related contracts, while cautioning that registration is not a guarantee of award.
"LA 28 has committed to directing 75% of their spending and their procurement to the greater LA region, and of that, 25% is intended to be for small businesses specifically," Public Affairs Officer Michael George said, outlining regional procurement targets and recommending early registration.
Staff described three specific platforms: SupplierOne (LA28’s supplier portal), GRAMa (Regional Alliance Marketplace for Procurement, hosted by the City of Los Angeles) and OnRampLA (for searching open procurement opportunities). They advised businesses to set NAICS codes, enable sports-and-entertainment subscriptions and check the portals regularly as opportunities are posted.
City staff also said the city will solicit vendors locally for Carson X activations and will post RFPs on the Carson Experience website; businesses were encouraged to register on both city and LA28 platforms and to share capabilities with city staff via email.
