04. Exhibit 6 - CBE Form - rev 2-3-22 (2).xlsx

This file is a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) form used by California for state and local contract opportunities, specifically related to the procurement of MyCodeR reagents. The form serves as a certification document that establishes a vendor's eligibility status as a certified business enterprise, which is a classification that may be required or beneficial for participation in California state contracts. While the specific details regarding quantities, delivery timelines, and contract term are not fully detailed in this form document itself, the form functions as a prerequisite verification tool for vendors responding to the MyCodeR reagents solicitation (Contract 587342).

The CBE form establishes pricing and participation requirements by mandating that vendors certify their business enterprise status according to California's certification criteria. This certification may unlock set-aside opportunities, preferential consideration, or specific contractual benefits designated for certified business enterprises. The form requires vendors to provide detailed information about their business structure, ownership, and operational control to verify compliance with state certification standards. By completing and submitting this form as part of their bid package, vendors demonstrate their eligibility to participate in California's state contracting opportunities under the applicable set-asides and preferences associated with certified business enterprise classifications.
