The Department of General Services, Office of State Printing Procurement Team, has graced this stage before and is again recognized for their daily dedication and collective sustained superior performance in support of the overall SB/DVBE program.  Through their commitment and concerted efforts, their participation percentages for the 2010/2011 Fiscal year are again outstanding and contribute to their department’s overall SB/DVBE program goals.
