02_Appendix A Purchasing Required Forms_Exhibit 6 CBE Form.xlsx

This file is an appendix containing purchasing required forms, specifically a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) form exhibit for a California state and local contract opportunity. The document serves as a standardized template for vendor certification and compliance purposes related to the procurement process for a Thermo Scientific 3950 CO2 incubator (brand name only specification). The form is part of the broader contracting documentation package and establishes the framework for vendors to demonstrate their business classification status and eligibility to participate in the procurement opportunity.

The CBE form functions as a certification document requiring vendors to provide detailed information about their business enterprise status, ownership structure, and compliance with applicable state requirements for small business participation and diversity goals. This form is mandatory for all bidders responding to the contract opportunity and serves as a prerequisite for bid submission and evaluation. The specific requirements outlined in the form establish baseline qualifications and certifications that must be completed and submitted as part of the bidding package to ensure vendor eligibility and contract award compliance.
