Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 11, November 20, 2024
Section III-523 - Exceptions to Vendor Certification RequirementsA. The commissioner of administration, upon the recommendation of the executive director of OMBE, may waive in writing the small business portion of the certification requirements, so that a minority-owned business meeting all other certification criteria may participate in the set-aside program or otherwise obtain minority preferences. Such determination shall be made on a case-by-case basis, and prior written approval of the commissioner must be obtained before the vendor shall be deemed eligible for certification.B. When a federal requirement that is a prescribed condition for allocation of federal funds to the state of Louisiana sets forth criteria for certification which are in conflict with those in these rules, then a business which is not otherwise certified for participation in the minority business enterprise program, but meets the particular federal criteria, shall be certified as a minority business enterprise for the particular projects(s) funded under those requirements, upon submittal to the Office of Minority Business Enterprise of sufficient documentation to show that said business meets the federal criteria.La.
