No specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises are identified in the solicitation materials provided. However, the Contractor must comply with affirmative action requirements if the contract exceeds $100,000 and the Contractor employs more than 40 full-time employees, and must implement the federal E-Verify Program for all newly hired employees if services are valued in excess of $50,000.

The State will pay within 30 days of receipt of an undisputed invoice in accordance with Minnesota Statute 16A.124. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation materials.
