Public contracts: direct quotes.
Summary
Existing law authorizes a state agency, notwithstanding certain advertising, bidding, and protest provisions, to award a contract for goods, services, or information technology with a value between $5,000 and $250,000 to a certified small business, including a microbusiness, or to a disabled veteran business enterprise, if that agency obtains price quotations from 2 or more certified small businesses or disabled veteran business enterprises, as specified. This bill would instead require a state agency to solicit at least 3 price quotations from, and obtain at least 2 price quotations from, 2 or more certified small business or disabled veteran business enterprise, as provided.
