DVBE-Eligible Subcontracting and Participation Incentive Opportunity

The contract offers an opportunity for Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBEs) to participate as subcontractors in projects under the Franchise Tax Board of California. It provides bid incentives of up to a 5% reduction in the net bid price for bidders who include DVBEs performing a commercially useful function. This initiative aims to encourage the engagement and inclusion of DVBEs in procurement activities related to the specified NAICS code 541512, which typically involves computer systems design services. The solicitation was posted on May 21, 2026, and responses are due by August 1, 2026. The contract type is focused on subcontracting arrangements rather than direct procurement, with no set-aside type indicated, emphasizing voluntary participation and incentivization rather than exclusivity. Although specific location details for the place of performance and office address are not provided, the engagement is assumed to be within California. Interested parties can access additional information and submit responses through the CALeProcure portal.
