Award determinations will follow a tiered evaluation structure prioritizing disadvantaged small business enterprises. If a bid from a DSBSD-certified micro business is received under $10,000 and deemed fair and reasonable, the award shall be made to that bidder; otherwise, the award shall be made to a DSBSD-certified small business if the bid does not exceed $100,000 and is fair and reasonable. If neither criterion applies, the award shall go to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder of any size at a fair and reasonable price. Vendor transaction fees apply at 1 percent capped at $500 for DSBSD-certified small businesses or $1,500 for non-certified businesses. Payment will be made within 30 days of receipt of valid invoice and verification of satisfactory goods received in accordance with the Virginia Prompt Payment Act, via check, ACH, EDI, or P-Card. The contract period extends from the date of award through delivery of goods and is nonrenewable. The Commonwealth reserves the right to reject any or all bids and to waive any informality.
