California’s spending is regulated by legislation on an annual basis. Understanding that cycle and when to bid on projects can be critical to doing business with the government.

California’s spending is regulated by legislation on an annual basis. Understanding that cycle and when to bid on projects can be critical to doing business with the government.

Larger projects are often funded on a one-time basis, but smaller purchases can be made annually, and state agencies must spend the allotted money each year or use it in the next budget.

Similarly, local expenditures can be attached to the state cycle, so having a deeper understanding of the fiscal timeline can help secure contracts with local municipalities.
