This goal is achieved through contract awards made directly to the Small Business community or through subcontracted partnerships between Prime firms and California certified small businesses. DWR strongly encourages Prime Firms to partner with California certified Small Businesses in response to this solicitation. Firms are strongly encouraged to provide certification of Disabled Veterans Business Enterprise (DVBE) status. DVBE certification may be obtained from the Department of General Services, Office of Small Business and DVBE Services (OSDS), and should be attached to the SOQ if DVBE status is claimed. DVBE participation is not required and in no way affects the selection process criteria for this contract.
