§ 1896.17. Denied, Discontinued or Revoked Certification and the Imposition of Sanctions.
(3) When the application for certification is submitted by a business or one or more principals of a business (new or existing) that is formed, financed by, or affiliated with a business suspended from contracting with the state of California, or whose certifications have been revoked, in accordance with Government Code section 14842 or 14842.5 or Military and Veterans Code section 999.9.
(d) If a business holds both the small business certification and the DVBE certification, both certifications shall be revoked for a period of not less than five (5) years if the business violates Government Code section 14842, subdivision (a). For additional or subsequent violations, the revocation shall be extended for a period of up to ten (10) years. Revocation applies to principals of business and any subsequent business formed by one or more of those principals, as set forth by Government Code section 14842, subdivision (e).
(e) A business that has obtained certification based on either furnishing incorrect and/or incomplete information or withholding information, which they knew or should have known would affect their certification eligibility, and, as a result, was awarded a contract to which it would not otherwise have been entitled, shall, in accordance with Government Code section 14842:
(f) The Department shall suspend any person who violates subdivision (a) of Government Code section 14842 from transacting any business with the state in the capacity of a contractor or a subcontractor for a period of not less than three (3) years and not more than ten (10) years. State agencies may reject the bid of a supplier offering goods, information technology, or services manufactured or provided by a subcontractor if the supplier or subcontractor has been declared ineligible to transact any business with the state pursuant to Government Code section 14842, even though the bidder is a business in good standing otherwise.
(D) Aid or assist in, or procure, counsel, or advise, the preparation or presentation of a declaration, statement, or other document that is fraudulent or false as to any material matter, regardless of whether that falsity or fraud is committed with the knowledge or consent of the person authorized or required to present the declaration, statement, or document.
(h) Any suspension, revocation and/or civil penalty issued pursuant to Government Code section 14842 or 14842.5 shall, unless otherwise statutorily specified, apply to the principals of the business, and neither the business nor the principals may re-apply for certification, either as the same business or a new business, for a period of not less than three (3) years, nor more than ten (10) years, from the date of certification revocation.
(i) When denying certification, discontinuing small business certification, or imposing any other sanction, including suspension, revocation, monetary penalty, or cost recovery, the OSDS will notify the business in writing. The notice shall include the reasons for the determination together with the statutory or regulatory authority or basis for such action, and provide information regarding the process of restoring the certification or appealing the decision(s).
