Public Contract Code (PCC)

The Public Contract Code (PCC) is a set of laws in California that governs how state and local governments contract for goods and services. It ensures transparency, competition, and fairness in the procurement process, aiming to protect public funds and promote accountability. The code outlines the procedures for bidding, awarding contracts, and managing public contracts, ensuring that taxpayers receive good value and that vendors have equitable opportunities to compete. Ultimately, the PCC helps maintain integrity in government spending and supports responsible fiscal management.
