Contractor Prequalification
The New Jersey Schools Development Authority (SDA) is required to maintain a Contractor Prequalification system.
Contractors
Effective July 1, 2004 to become a SDA Contractor you must have a current classification with the New Jersey Department of Treasury, Division of Property Management and Construction (DPMC). Contractors having this classification are required to fill out the SDA prequalification application which once received is reviewed for completeness and forwarded to the New Jersey State Police for a moral integrity screening. Upon review from the New Jersey State Police, the SDA will prequalify a firm in the same trade(s) and aggregate rating as DPMC. The effective date will be the date SDA issues a prequalification letter. The expiration date will be the same as DPMC.
