SUMMARY AS PASSED:

Virginia Public Procurement Act; awards as a result of authorized enhancement or remedial measures. Requires any enhancement or remedial measure authorized by the Governor under subsection C of § 2.2-4310 for procurement by state agencies to include a compliance provision for the use of small, women-owned, minority-owned, and service disabled veteran-owned businesses certified by the Department of Small Business and Supplier Diversity. The bill requires that a contract be awarded in accordance with an award priority provided in such enhancement or remedial measure if such priority business participated in and met the requirements of the solicitation. If the contract cannot be awarded on this basis, the contract must be awarded to a qualified business in accordance with the next established award priority, and so on until a contract is awarded on the basis of an established priority. The bill provides that if no qualified priority businesses are participating, the procurement award may be made without regard to the enhancement or remedial measure.
