This is a Small Procurement targeted to verified small businesses participating in the Commonwealth's Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP). If there is insufficient SBPP capacity, the Department may award to non-SBPP participants.

Bidders are encouraged to describe any additional creative supplier diversity initiatives in their SDP Plan. No set-asides or incumbents are specified, and annual expenditures are estimated at $200,000, though the Department makes no guarantee of any purchases.
