Since its inception in 2004, the SBR “has been providing small businesses with the opportunity to participate as prime contractors on State contracts and procurements by establishing a unique marketplace where small businesses compete against other small businesses instead of larger, more established companies.” The Program applies to 23 designated State agencies who are required to spend at least 10% of their total fiscal year procurement expenditures with qualified small businesses.
Both the Department of General Services (DGS) and GOMA are tasked with ensuring the success of the Program. “DGS is responsible for managing the business registration and certification process; maintaining the directory of certified small businesses; and auditing firms to ensure that only qualified small businesses are on the certified list. GOMA is responsible for program compliance in the areas of training and technical assistance necessary for agencies to successfully implement the program; monitoring of agencies’ procurement activity to ensure that the program is utilized to the fullest extent possible and that all SBR reporting requirements are met.”
