Procurement and Support Services
Disabled Veteran and Small Business
Did you know?
That as a state agency, Fresno State is mandated by the State of California to do
business with California Certified Small Businesses (SB) and Certified Disabled Veteran
Business Enterprises (DVBE).
Fresno State Must Report
California State University, Fresno's Procurement and Support Services Department
must submit to the legislature an annual report that tracks contract award activity
involving DVBE's and SB'S. The report must demonstrate that various participation
goals have been met or exceeded. If the minimum goals are not met, Fresno State must
provide a sound justification and the remedial action they will take to attain or
exceed the goals the following year.
You Have the Power to Help
As a department, you can help Fresno State meet its goals by using your Pro-Cards
to purchase from California Certified Small Businesses and DVBE's.
On our Staples website you can limit your searches to Small Business and DVBE products.
The Procurement department will assist by helping to source your Purchase Requisitions to a California Certified Small Business and/or a Certified Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise.
If you need help with the Staples website or finding SB or DVBE vendors, contact Brian Cotham, Fresno State Small Business and DVBE Advocate @ 559.278.2893 in the Procurement Department for more information.
