Paragraph 2:

This procurement includes provisions for the Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) program and incentive, as well as the Small Business Preference program. While CDCR is exempt from the DVBE requirement, the agency encourages voluntary participation. The IFB does not identify any incumbent vendors or current contractors, and there is no mention of any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB does not specify an award value or budget range, but the CDCR reserves the right to increase the contract amount as needed during the term of the agreement.
