Section C, step 4 of the supplier diversity policy states: “Agencies will achieve supplier diversity goals by ensuring that their procurement professionals award competitively procured contracts with an initial value less than $150,000 to the highest-ranked responsive and responsible small or veteran-owned business, unless there was no responsive and responsible bid from a small or veteran-owned business.”
We will discuss what this means and how state agency practitioners implement this strategy.
