provisions of Public Law 106-50, 108-183, H.R. 3082, S 3778, President's
Executive Order 13360 and the various provisions of State of California,

This participant
authority allows HSDV to utilize SET ASIDE AND SOLE SOURCE PROCUREMENTS to provide ME opportunities for those persons that sacrificed for
