DOA may, at any time after it has certified a VBE, withdraw certification if the status of that firm's ownership, control, or management make such action necessary, or it if fails to maintain its status as an ongoing business, or it has violated the guidelines of an awarding authority or no longer qualifies as a small business concern. A firm may be certified by the DOA after being provided with an opportunity to be heard by the MBECO. Firms decertified by the DOA may seek an appeal of the decertification determination before the CRC.
