About SBC
Our Mission
To educate and advocate the benefits of “State Use” contracting to government agencies to create employment opportunities for the disability community.
Signature Business Consulting (SBC) was incorporated in 2007 by CEO Keith York. SBC’s mission is to educate the government on “State Use” contracting as an opportunity to employ and support individuals with disabilities. SBC’s experience in and knowledge of “State Use'' government contracting set them up for success as they network with qualified nonprofits and government agencies to empower the local disability community.
SBC is built upon California's Welfare and Institution (WIC) Codes 19403 - 19404 which are geared to support California's qualified rehabilitation programs through government contracts. The WIC Codes encourage state agencies to employ individuals with disabilities through the “Without Bid” contract process.
