To participate in the contract–specific goals and preferences authorized under this subtitle, a business must: be certified by a certification agency in accordance with Title 14, Subtitle 3 of the State Finance and Procurement Article and the regulations adopted under that subtitle; be certified by any certification agency; and submit all additional documentation necessary for the Office to determine that the business meets the requirements of Title 14, Subtitle 3 of the State Finance and Procurement Article and the regulations adopted under that subtitle; or be certified under a certification program that the Commission determines substantially duplicates the requirements for a State certification agency under Title 14, Subtitle 3 of the State Finance and Procurement Article and the regulations adopted under that subtitle. To substantially duplicate the requirements for a State certification agency under Title 14, Subtitle 3 of the State Finance and Procurement Article and the regulations adopted under that subtitle, a certification program shall, at a minimum, have certification requirements that are at least as narrowly tailored as the State’s requirements in Title 14, Subtitle 3 of the State Finance and Procurement Article and the regulations adopted under that subtitle with respect to: business ownership and control; business size standards; business owner personal net worth; and business owner social and economic disadvantage. If the Office determines that a business seeking to participate in the minority business enterprise utilization program established under § 20–204 of this subtitle has a certification that does not substantially duplicate the requirements in Title 14, Subtitle 3 of the State Finance and Procurement Article and the regulations adopted under that subtitle, the Office may: request and evaluate documentation and evidence necessary to determine whether the business may be authorized to participate in programs under this subtitle; and following the evaluation under item (1) of this subsection, authorize a business to participate in programs under this subtitle.
