We hope you find this page informative and useful. The Superior Court of Tehama County (Court) recognizes the vital importance and impact that the DVBE community has on California's local, regional and statewide economies. For this reason, the Court has designed a program to enhance opportunities for DVBEs.

DVBE Advocate

The Court has appointed a DVBE Advocate to assist DVBEs with questions or concerns. The DVBE Advocate helps identify potential DVBE contracting opportunities, and helps make information regarding pending solicitations available to certified DVBEs.

DVBE Certification Process

The Office of Small Business and DVBE Services (OSDS) is responsible for the DVBE certification process and will assist you with any questions or concerns about the process.

The DVBE certification and eligibility requirements are available on the OSDS website.

DVBE Certification Benefits

The Court may provide an incentive to bidders and proposers that are certified DVBEs, or who commit to subcontract with certified DVBEs. By becoming a certified DVBE, you will become eligible to receive this incentive if offered, and to partner with prime contractors who wish to receive this incentive.

Qualifying for a Small Business Preference

The Office of Small Business and DVBE Services (OSDS) is responsible for the Small Business certification process and will assist you with any questions or concerns about the process.

The Small Business certification and eligibility requirements are available on the OSDS website.

Small Business Certification Benefits

The Court may provide an incentive to bidders and proposers that are certified as a small business or a small business nonprofit veteran service agency (NVSA). By becoming a certified small business or NVSA, you will become eligible to receive this incentive if offered. Note: a bidder that qualifies for the small business preference because it is an NVSA cannot displace a bidder that is itself a small business.
