Government contracting in California

California is the largest federal and state buyer in the country. Naval demand from San Diego, Air Force and Space Force from the central valley, and statewide demand through Cal eProcure shape a deep market across every category we cover.

How AXA South operates in California

No special license required. AXA South bids and holds prime government contracts as an authorized contracting party. No special license is required to bid or hold the prime relationship in the categories we pursue. Any work that requires a state-issued trade, professional, or specialty license is performed by subcontractors who hold those licenses in the project jurisdiction.

CaliforniaCalifornia requires a CSLB contractor license for any construction over $500. Qualifying work is performed by a CSLB-licensed contractor of record.

AXA South is a contracting and program-management firm, not a licensed trade.
