Purpose:

The purpose of this announcement is to solicit applications from eligible organizations to apply to provide marketing and engagement services to support the awareness and use of the Made in California label and promotional services by California’s manufacturing businesses.

Description:

“Made in California” is California’s manufacturing promotion and product labeling program (herein defined as “Program”). The Program is designed to develop and promote the Made in California label, to encourage consumer product awareness, and to foster purchases of high-quality products in this state. The Program is administered by the California Office of the Small Business Advocate (herein referred to as “CalOSBA”) within the Governor's Office of Business & Economic Development (herein referred to as GO-Biz). The Program supports California-based manufacturers that meet the eligibility requirements across California’s diverse range of manufacturing categories.

The Program was enacted in 2013 and established in Government Code section 12098.10 and et seq. On April 7, 2021, SB 808 amended statutes associated with Made in California. The Program is designed to serve manufacturers of all sizes and stages and to reinforce the Made in California label as a credible, inclusive, and statewide certification that supports economic development, workforce stability, and supply-chain resilience.
