ITB - #9 Envelopes, Single Window 2009
- YEAR CREATED: 2009
- ENTITY TYPE: State

The document provides detailed instructions and requirements for the California Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) Program. The program aims to promote the participation of disabled veteran-owned businesses in state contracts. Bidders are required to comply with the DVBE program requirements and achieve a minimum DVBE participation percentage of 3%, unless otherwise specified in the solicitation.
The document outlines three compliance options for bidders. Option A is for bidders who are either a certified DVBE or can commit to using certified DVBE(s) to fulfill the participation goal. Option B is for bidders who have made a good faith effort to obtain DVBE participation but may result in partial or no DVBE participation. Option C is applicable only to solicitations for goods and information technology and allows bidders to use an annual plan to meet DVBE participation requirements.
Bidders must carefully review and adhere to the instructions provided in the document. They must select and complete at least one of the compliance options and ensure all required forms are submitted. It is important to note that the State will verify the information provided by the intended awardee, and any violations may lead to investigation, penalties, and contract termination.
Additionally, the document highlights that only certified DVBEs who perform a commercially useful function can be used to satisfy the DVBE program requirements. Bidders are responsible for verifying the certification of DVBE subcontractors with the Office of Small Business and DVBE Services (OSDS).
Furthermore, the document mentions that failure to comply with the specified requirements, including the use of the correct forms such as the Bidder Declaration GSPD-05-105, will result in the bid being considered non-compliant with the State of California bid.
In summary, the PDF document provides comprehensive guidelines for bidders to ensure compliance with the DVBE program and promote the involvement of disabled veteran-owned businesses in state contracts.
