California’s DVBE Program
The State established a DVBE participation goal of at least three percent in 1989. The goal applies to the total contract dollars expended each year by a State department. Each State department establishes their own method for attaining the goal, and they have the discretion to include the program requirements within individual contracts. For more information on the DVBE Program, visit: www.pd.dgs.ca.gov/dvbe/default.htm

The DGS established a DVBE incentive pursuant to Military and Veterans Code § 999.5(a) in October 2007. Each state department incorporates the use of the DVBE incentive into their plan to ensure achievement of the three percent overall DVBE goal annually.
