Section 1896.90 - Enforcement

The OSDS shall be responsible for actions against businesses for the enforcement of Military and Veterans Code sections 999, et seq., Public Contract Code sections 10115, et seq., and Government Code sections 14842 and 14842.5. The actions are certification denial, discontinuance or revocation and suspension from contracting with the state as well as, the imposition of monetary penalties and/or cost recovery to the state, imposed in accordance with subdivisions (b), (c) or (d) for violation of subdivision (a) Military and Veterans Code section 999.9.

(a) Certification Denial or Revocation: When a business does not meet the requirement for certification, or no longer meets eligibility requirements, because of a violation of subdivision (a) of Military and Veterans Code section 999.9 or Government Code section 14842, subdivision (a) or 14842.5, subdivision (a), all certifications shall be denied or revoked. When denying or revoking a certification, the OSDS shall provide written notice including the reasons for the denial or revocation and information regarding the appeal process.
(b) Suspension: Any business may be suspended from state contracting activities. Suspension means a temporary debarment from bidding on or participating as a contractor, subcontractor or supplier in any state contract or project, and includes the revocation of certification unless the suspended business is not certified. When suspending a certified business from contracting activities, the OSDS shall revoke certification with a written notice. The notice shall include affected businesses owned by, affiliated with, financed, or formed by the principals named in the suspension, include the reasons for suspension and provide notice of the appeal process. Allegations with sufficient grounds may be referred to the Attorney General for possible prosecution and imposition of civil/criminal sanctions for violations of Military and Veterans Code section 999.9, subdivision (a). OSDS may pursue administrative action and penalties irrespective of whether the Attorney General chooses to bring action.
