POLICY OBJECTIVE

To establish system wide contracting and procurement policy as required by Education Code 89036.

POLICY STATEMENT

Business may be granted preferences when bidding on state contracts of $100,000 or more for goods and services (excludes construction contracts) if the business site is located within one of 34 "Enterprise Zones" located throughout California, as designated by the California State Trade and Commerce Agency. Enterprise Zones are designated to encourage job-producing business development in designated sections of cities or counties. A 5% preference is applicable only to contracts awarded on the basis of lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications.
