This includes small businesses (SB), Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE), LGBT Business Enterprise (LGBTBE), Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE), Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) and Women Business Enterprise (WBE) caterers.

Cal Poly is accepting applications for the upcoming academic year (August 1, 2023 through July 31, 2024) for off-campus catering vendors to provide services on campus. With the option of utilizing outside catering vendors, in addition to the services of University Catering, we are pleased to provide our campus community with added flexibility and variety.
