B.4 government and private procurement.
Thefactthat procurementisa buzzwordthat eludestheAfricanAmericancommunity, thereislessthan of I percentof AfricanAmericanbusinessesthat arecertifiedto dobusinesswith the (SBE), (DVBE) state of California, and this number is even lower with the ( DBE) federal procurement. 98 percent of minority businesseshavenoclue what certification is, or knowledge of the fact that there is absolutely no cost for certification on the State or Federal level.
There has never been any real outreach activities to change this practice, therefore these contract continue to circulate to the same companies and the companies within their teaming agreements and established families, and with the emergence of SB605 it increased the threshold to $ 15 million dollars for small businesses and $ 5 million dollars for micro businesses to extend their relationships with these governmententities, whiletheaverageAfricanAmericansmallbusinessdefinitionisaround $50 thousand. There is also a (CBA) that is and should be attached to most federally funded programs.
