At this hands-on SMUD SEED vendor workshop, listed by the California Department of General Services (DGS), owners apply for the state Small Business (SB) or Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) certification and register with SMUD’s Supplier Education and Economic Development (SEED) program in one morning. Bring a laptop and digital copies of your entity documents, EIN verification, three years of federal tax returns, DE 9C records if you have W-2 employees, licenses and, for DVBE, proof of veteran status.
