Submitting Your Completed DVBE Business Utilization Plan
When to Submit
If you are submitting a plan that is intended to satisfy DVBE goals for a particular state agency solicitation, the plan must be approved by the Department of General Services, Procurement Division, prior to the bid’s solicitation date.
Public Contract Code (PCC) states that a plan shall be considered approved “as of the date submitted…so long as the plan meets the minimum criteria.” So, technically, your plan may be submitted the same day the solicitation is due, and, if you’ve done everything correctly, your plan will be approved and will satisfy the DVBE requirements of the solicitation you are bidding on. However, waiting until the last day to submit your plan is risky because if it contains anyerrors or omissions, they must be corrected before the plan can be approved.
Because any inadequacies in the plan must be addressed and corrected before the bid solicitation date, you should submit your plan as early as possible to allow time for revision.
