The CBE Form functions as a certification document that bidders must complete to demonstrate their status as a certified business enterprise, a classification that may be relevant to the state's procurement preferences and set-aside requirements. The form is part of the mandatory submission package that all interested vendors must include with their bids.

The specific requirements, pricing terms, and submission procedures associated with this CBE Form certification are contained within the larger procurement package for the Sigma-Aldrich/Cerilliant drug standards contract.
