N.J. Admin. Code § 17:13-1.1

Current through Register Vol. 56, No. 23, December 2, 2024

Section 17:13-1.1 - Purpose and scope

(a) The rules in this chapter are promulgated by the Department of the Treasury to implement N.J.S.A. 52:32-17 et seq., P.L. 2008, c. 27, and Executive Order No. 71, dated October 2, 2003, to establish a set-aside program that, in part, requires State agencies with contracting authority to make a good faith effort to award State contracts and subcontracts to eligible small businesses. Executive Order No. 71 (2003) requires at least 25 percent of the total dollar value of State contracts to be set aside for small businesses. This percentage goal is an overall program goal for each State contracting agency. State contracting agencies are expected to apply their business judgment when establishing set-aside goals for individual contracts.

(b) The rules in this chapter apply to both State contracts for goods and services awarded by any State contracting agency and to the award of State contracts for construction and construction-related services, unless unique rules for a specific contract type are specified.

(c) Applications and questions regarding eligibility as a small business should be addressed to:

Department of the Treasury

Division of Revenue and Enterprise Services

33 West State St., 5th Floor

PO Box 026

Trenton, NJ 08625-0026

Questions concerning the award of contracts under this chapter should be directed to the State contracting agency issuing the particular contract.
