| Answer: | Yes, the State has an aspirational goal of 20% of total taxpayer spend with minorities, females, and persons with disabilities certified with the Business Enterprise Program (BEP). In this case there is a 5% BEP Goal. The goal was established on delivery, logistics, trucking components. You can locate certified BEP vendors at: https://cms.diversitycompliance.com/ If you're unable to meet the BEP goal and can provide a detailed justification meeting the requirements outlined in the attached Utilization Plan (U-Plan), vendors may request a Good Faith Effort Waiver. | |
