DSBSD-certified small businesses are subject to vendor transaction fees of 1 percent capped at $500, while other businesses face fees of 1 percent capped at $1,500; no specific set-asides or restrictions limiting competition to particular business categories have been identified in the solicitation documents. Out-of-state business entities must provide their Virginia State Corporation Commission (SCC) identification number, confirm they do not regularly conduct business in Virginia, or submit legal counsel's opinion regarding their Virginia contacts, with failure to complete and return the SCC form potentially resulting in a bid deemed non-responsive.
