SEA 564 Expands Veteran-Owned Small Business Opportunities

Governor Mike Pence signed SEA 564 on April 25, 2013, expanding veteran-owned small business opportunities in Indiana. The law is effective July 1, 2013.

SEA 564 codifies Governor Pence’s Executive Order 13-04, requiring the Indiana Department of Administration (IDOA) to procure at least 3 percent of state contracts with veteran-owned small businesses (VOSBs). It also requires IDOA to adopt rules, develop policies and set forth guidelines regarding contracting opportunities for VOSBs. IDOA must report annually the percentage of state contracts with Hoosier VOSBs. Finally, SEA 564 allows the Indiana Economic Development Corporation to assist in various aspects of the VOSB initiative, including maintaining a list of Indiana VOSBs, assisting VOSBs with bidding procedures and compliance, and simplifying specifications and contract terms to increase opportunities for VOSB participation.

Future updates will be posted to the Procurement Division web pages, Veterans’ Affairs, and on the web pages of the Minority and Women's Business Enterprises Division. In the meantime, please get a head start by becoming an Indiana vendor though the IDOA procurement web site.

Notice to State of Indiana Contractors

The Indiana State Ethics Commission has released a new ethics training for "individuals who have business relationships with the state", which includes Executive Branch Lobbyists. While this training is not required at this time it is recommended that all Indiana contractors complete the program and retain a copy of the completion certificate.

The Procurement Division also oversees the State's Buy Indiana program and the One Indiana strategic procurement initiative.
