				  that it finds no longer qualifies as a small, women-owned, or minority-owned
				  business. Grounds for revocation of certification may include the
				  following:

				structure, management, or control of the certified women-owned or
				minority-owned business has changed to the extent that it no longer satisfies
				the requirement of ownership, control, and active management of the business by
				women or minority individuals.

				The number of employees or revenues exceeds the requirements for certification
				of a small business or the small business no longer satisfies the requirements
				to be independently owned and operated.
3. The business fails to submit the required
				documentation or to comply with a reasonable request from the department for
				records or information within the allotted time.
4. The business knowingly provides false or
				misleading information in support of its initial application or its application
				for recertification or in response to the department's request for records or
				information.

				women-owned, or minority-owned businesses or that provides a preference for
				small, women-owned, or minority-owned businesses that is not available to
				Virginia-based businesses.

				business in a state that does not have a small, women-owned, or minority-owned
				business certification program shall be exempt from the requirements of this
				provision.
