This procurement is restricted exclusively to Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) certified bidders, representing a significant set-aside designation that limits competition to qualified DVBEs. Additionally, a Small Business (SB) preference of five percent applies, allowing non-small business contractors to compete if they subcontract at least 25% of the net bid price to certified SBs. A DVBE Incentive Program may apply a percentage-based incentive for confirmed DVBE participation of up to 7.00% or greater. Bid bonds of at least 10% of the bid amount are required for bids exceeding $24,999.99, and payment and performance bonds equal to 100% of the contract price must be provided prior to commencement of work. No incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified in the solicitation documentation. The State reserves the right to reject any and all bids and is not required to award the contract. While a specific budget or award value is not disclosed in the available documentation, interested DVBE contractors should note that bond requirements and prevailing wage obligations will significantly impact their cost proposals.
