Construction Contractor Prequalification
Prospective SDHC business partners can complete an online application on PlanetBids to become SDHC Prequalified Construction Contractors.
Prequalified Construction Contractors are eligible to bid on SDHC projects up to the amount for which they are approved for a two-year term. Prequalification must be renewed prior to the expiration of the two-year term.
All Construction Contractors will be required to be prequalified on PlanetBids to bid on SDHC contracting opportunities.
To become an SDHC Prequalified Construction Contractor, you must be registered for SDHC’s Vendor Portal on PlanetBids – Click Here.
Please note that if you have not done so, you must register with SDHC’s Vendor Portal on PlanetBids to download or be notified about SDHC bid opportunities – even if you already are registered with another public agency that uses PlanetBids, or previously have accessed SDHC solicitations through the City of San Diego’s PlanetBids portal.
However, if you are currently a prequalified construction contractor for the City of San Diego, the prequalification application for SDHC is shorter.
Appeal Process
Anyone who is notified by the San Diego Housing Commission that their Construction Contractor Prequalification application has been denied or suspended has the right to file an appeal of the decision within five (5) business days from the date of the Notification Letter.
