While no mandatory Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) participation is required, the state offers a 5% incentive for 100% DVBE participation and maintains a 25% Small Business participation goal. Certified Small Business or Micro Business contractors are eligible to receive a 5% bid preference. Bidders must submit several mandatory documents, including a bid proposal, bidder certification sheet, a copy of their Motor Carrier Permit, GenAI reporting factsheet, and Darfur Contracting Act certification.

Interested vendors should note that while the opportunity is open to various businesses, compliance with state certification requirements and submission of all required documentation will be critical to a successful bid.
