PRO-Net is the SBA's electronic search engine, containing business profiles on nearly 200,000 businesses, including some California certified DVBEs and non-certified disabled veteran-owned businesses.
Users should be careful to verify that firms identified on PRO-Net are State of California certified DVBEs. Qualifying, non-DVBE firms should be encouraged to seek certification.
The SBA requests Internet contact only. A list of potential firms downloaded from PRO-Net will verify that the bidder made contact with the SBA.
