For California state buyers & departments with SB/DVBE goals
Scott Technology Group is a California-certified Small Business and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (SB/DVBE #16831) and an authorized Canon, Ricoh, and Brother dealer.

SBA-Certified SDVOSBFederal VetCertWhy Scott Technology Group
You need a supplier who is certified, capable, and easy to award to. Here's what you get when you work with STG.
STG holds both Small Business and DVBE certification from DGS (#16831, valid through January 31, 2029). That means an award to us supports your department's 25% SB participation goal and its 3% DVBE goal, and we qualify for the SB/DVBE Option whether you pull quotes from SBs or from DVBEs.
We're an authorized Canon, Ricoh (including Savin), and Brother dealer, and an authorized reseller under Canon's and Ricoh's CMAS and NASPO ValuePoint contracts. You get genuine equipment, parts, and supplies, installed and serviced by factory-trained technicians.
We're registered to serve all 58 California counties. Our own technicians cover 16 Northern California counties from our Rohnert Park service center, and we partner with Canon, Ricoh, and Brother to deliver and service equipment everywhere else, from Sacramento to San Diego.
Every quote spells out model numbers, line-item pricing, lead times, and delivery and installation terms, with our SB/DVBE certification and the state forms you need attached. You can evaluate and award without a round of follow-up emails.

SB/DVBE contracting, explained
California sets participation goals for certified small businesses and disabled veteran business enterprises and gives departments faster ways to award to them. Here's how it works in practice.
A Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise is a business at least 51% owned by one or more disabled veterans, with daily operations managed and controlled by disabled veterans, and certified by the Department of General Services Office of Small Business and DVBE Services. STG is owned and run by David Scott, a service-disabled U.S. Marine Corps veteran.
To verify STG, search certification ID 16831 in the Cal eProcure certified firm search. Our SB and DVBE certifications run through January 31, 2029.
Military and Veterans Code 999(b); California Code of Regulations, Title 2, 1896.60 et seq.
Yes. STG is certified as both a Small Business and a DVBE, so an award to us supports your department's 25% SB participation goal and its 3% DVBE participation goal.
Executive Order S-02-06; Military and Veterans Code 999.
For goods, services, and IT valued from $5,000.01 to $249,999.99, you can skip advertising and award to a certified SB or DVBE after getting quotes from at least two certified SBs or at least two certified DVBEs. You award to the lowest price, there's no particular format or timing, and there's no protest right. It's the fastest competitive method available to state departments.
Government Code 14838.5; State Administrative Manual 1233; DGS SB/DVBE Option guide.
For purchases under $20,000, you can use the Fair and Reasonable method and award on a single quote when the price is fair and reasonable. The State Contracting Manual encourages departments to use this method with certified SBs and DVBEs, including firms that haven't done business with the state before.
State Contracting Manual 15.10.
STG sells as an authorized reseller under Canon's and Ricoh's contracts, including:
We also respond under the SB/DVBE Option and to formal solicitations.
Yes. Primes can meet DVBE participation requirements by subcontracting device delivery, installation, maintenance, managed print, or software work to STG. We perform a commercially useful function on every subcontract and provide the DVBE declarations your file needs.
Military and Veterans Code 999 et seq.
We're an authorized Canon, Ricoh, Savin, and Brother dealer for sales and service. For HP and other common brands, we source through national distributors TD SYNNEX and Ingram Micro. We also maintain the desktop laser printers you already own.
Yes. We're registered to serve all 58 counties. Our own technicians cover 16 Northern California counties, and we partner or contract with Canon, Ricoh, and Brother for service everywhere else. Our managed print services support multi-site fleets with centralized monitoring, and through our partnership with Brother USA we can deploy and maintain print devices anywhere in the U.S.
We configure hard-drive encryption and data overwrite, secure print release, badge or card authentication, and user-level audit trails to match your department's information security policy. At end of lease, we handle device data according to your requirements.
You get the same technology at the same price points as buying direct from Canon or Ricoh, because we sell under their CMAS and NASPO ValuePoint pricing. You meet your SB and DVBE goals at the same time.
Call, text, or email us, or book a Teams meeting with David Scott. Send the model or specifications, quantity, ship-to address, need-by date, and how you plan to buy (Fair and Reasonable, SB/DVBE Option, CMAS, NASPO ValuePoint, or solicitation), and we'll return a complete quote.

Leadership
A Marine who grew up in the copier business, and now helps California buyers put SB/DVBE authority to work.
David Scott served in the U.S. Marine Corps infantry from 1999 to 2003 with 3rd Battalion, 1st Marines, deploying three times to the Middle East. He is a service-disabled veteran, and he owns and controls Scott Technology Group.
His father, Giles Scott, a longtime copier technician and service manager, founded STG in Rohnert Park in 1995 on a simple promise: when your machine goes down, a technician shows up fast. David joined the company after the Marine Corps, and in 2011 he became majority owner and President & CEO. STG has held California SB and DVBE certification since 2012.
A career in the office equipment industry, covering installation, service operations, fleet management, print security, and long-standing relationships with Canon, Ricoh, and Brother.
David personally leads STG's public sector work: SB and DVBE certification, SB/DVBE Option quotes, CMAS and NASPO ValuePoint orders, and DVBE subcontracts. In one call he can walk you through the right path for a copier, printer, or managed print requirement.
Your department leads the mission. We bring the equipment, the documentation, and the dependability to support it.
