The Department of General Services (DGS) established a Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) incentive pursuant to Senate Bill 115 chaptered October 3, 2005 and the Military and Veterans Code section 999.5(a). The new regulations apply to all competitive solicitations for public works, services, goods, and information technology goods and services posted or released after October 09, 2007.
The DVBE incentive offers state agencies a tool to increase their DVBE participation while still allowing the flexibility to exempt a contract from the participation requirement should the department deem it necessary. Each state agency should incorporate the use of the DVBE incentive into their plan or strategy to ensure achievement of at least three percent DVBE participation on their total contract dollars.
