- Make sole-source contracts available for public inspection for at least 10 working days before the intended start date
- Post instructions on how to get a copy of sole-source contracts

Minority and women-owned businesses
Washington encourages minority and women-owned businesses to compete for government contracts. The Office of Minority and Women's Business Enterprise (OMWBE) offers programs and certification to help these businesses access more opportunities.
Veteran-owned businesses
State law encourages agencies to award 3% of all procurement contracts without competitive bidding requirements to certified veteran-owned businesses. The Department of Veterans Affairs has more information about certifying a veteran-owned business.
