However, the Commonwealth's Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) requirements apply, mandating that bidders propose a minimum of 1% spending with certified diverse businesses as part of their response. Bidders must complete an SDP Plan Form detailing their proposed diverse business partners and commitment, which accounts for 25% of the overall evaluation score. The Commonwealth maintains a directory of certified diverse suppliers that can be leveraged. The winning bidder's SDP commitment will become a contractual requirement to be met annually. No incumbent contractors are identified in the provided documents.
