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.  Learn More.  For bidder registration assistance, contact Amey Redding, (317) 234-3542; for other information about the program, e-mail: Indianaveteranspreference@idoa.in.gov.

SEA 564 codifies Governor Pence’s Executive Order 13-04, setting a goal for 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.

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.
