This Act is the result of a successful pilot project involving disadvantaged business enterprises in State contracts. In 2023, Section 189 of Senate Bill No. 35, as amended by Senate Amendment No. 2, authorized the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to engage in a pilot program to include Community Workforce Agreements as part of large public works projects using businesses that met the definition of Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE). If an agency elects to award based on best value, this Act requires projects, valued in excess of $30,000,000, to be scored using DBE usage of at least 10% but no more than 30%. This Act also makes technical corrections to conform existing law to the standards of the Delaware Legislative Drafting Manual.

An Act To Amend Title 29 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Disadvantaged Business Enterprises In The State Procurement System.

Rep. Sherry Dorsey Walker [D]
