The procurement is exclusively reserved for California-certified Small Businesses (SB) or Micro Businesses (MB), with preference given to Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) in the event of a tie between certified small businesses. A payment bond equal to 100% of the contract value is required if the contract exceeds $25,000.
