If a bidder uses 1 or more suppliers to satisfy a contract goal, in whole or in part, the certified business enterprise supplier participation may be credited towards the applicable goal, as provided in this section. A bidder may count 100% of its expenditure to a certified business enterprise supplier who manufactures the goods supplied. A bidder may count 100% of its expenditure to a certified business enterprise supplier who is:a wholesaler warehousing the goods supplied; or a manufacturer’s representative, However, only 25% of the applicable contract goal may be attained by expenditures to certified business enterprises that are non-manufacturing suppliers. For contracts where an extraordinarily large proportion of the contract price is for equipment or supplies:a lower project goal may be set than otherwise would be required; the 25% limit for suppliers may be increased; or a combination of these two methods may be used.
