AB 3236: Public contracts: Small Business Procurement and Contract Act.

The Small Business Procurement and Contract Act permits a state agency to award a contract for goods, services, or information technology with a value of between $5,000 and $250,000 to a certified small business, including a microbusiness and a disabled veteran business enterprise, without complying with specified competitive bidding requirements.

This bill would increase the maximum amount of a contract awarded pursuant to the act from $250,000 to $500,000.
