The procurement opportunity does not appear to have specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though the bid documents indicate a preference for local bidders. Vendors must be prepared to provide a Certificate of Liability Insurance with the City of Oklahoma City named as an additional insured, with specific coverage limits ranging from $25,000 to $1,000,000.

The contract will be governed by Oklahoma law, with any legal disputes to be resolved in Oklahoma County courts.
