XVII. NON-SMALL BUSINESS PREFERENCE REQUEST
Pursuant to Title 2, CCR Section § 1896, et seq., and GC Section § 14838, et seq., a bid
preference of five percent (5%) is available to a responsive non-small business claiming
no less than twenty-five percent (25%), Small Business/Micro Business (SB/MB)
subcontractor participation with one or more SB/MB enterprises. This preference is
considered only if the tentative low bidder is not a certified SB/MB.
In granting the Non-Small Business Preference, no bid price will be reduced by more
than $50,000. This preference cost adjustment is for bid evaluation purposes only and
does not alter the actual cost offered by the bidder.
A non-small business is defined as a responsive/responsible bidder that is not certified
by the DGS OSDS as a SB/MB enterprise.
To be eligible for the non-small business preference, the business prime vendor must
complete and submit the Non-Small Business Preference Request and Subcontractor
Acknowledgement form (OBS 555) with their bid proposal.

certified as a Small/Micro Business.
In granting Small/Micro Business preference to NVSAs, no bid will be reduced by more
than $50,000. The preference cost adjustment is for computation purposes only and
does not alter the actual cost offered by the bidder.
To be eligible for the NVSA Small/Micro Business Preference, the business concern
