CaliforniaPublic contracts: Small Business Procurement and Contract Act.
What it does
The Small Business Procurement and Contract Act permits a state agency or the California State University to award a contract for goods, services, or information technology with an estimated value between $5,000 and $250,000 to a certified small business, including a microbusiness and a disabled veteran business enterprise, without complying with specified competitive bidding requirements.
More detail
This bill would increase the maximum estimated value of a contract for services or information technology awarded pursuant to the act from $250,000 to $350,000. Commencing January 1, 2029, and biennially thereafter, the bill would require the Director of General Services to conduct a review of that maximum value, and would authorize the director to adjust that value to reflect changes in the California Consumer Price Index.
