If for this Agreement, the Contractor made a commitment to achieve Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation, then the Contractor must within 60 days of receiving final payment under this Agreement ( or within such other time period as may be specified elsewhere in this Agreement) certify in a report to the awarding department: (1) the total amount the prime the Contractor received under the Agreement; (2) the name and address of the DVBE(s) that participated in the performance of the Agreement; (3) the amount each DVBE received from the prime Contractor; (4) that all payments under the Agreement have been made to the DVBE(s), and (5) the actual percentage of DVBE participation that was achieved. A person or entity that knowingly provides false information shall be subject to a civil penalty for each violation (Military & Veterans Code section 999.5(d)).

The Contractor understands and agrees that should award of this Agreement be based in part on their commitment to use the DVBE subcontractor(s) identified in their bid or offer, per Military and Veterans Code section 999.5(e), a DVBE subcontractor may only be replaced by another DVBE subcontractor and must be approved by the Department of General Services (DGS).
