About this file
This is a Commercially Useful Function Evaluation Form (OBAS Form 201) from the California Department of Social Services for IFB 26-3031, Daily Courier Services for the Developmental Disabilities Services Division (DDSD) Covina, Glendale, and Los Angeles State Prison (LASP) branches. The form implements Chapter 623 of the Statutes of 2003, which became effective January 1, 2004, requiring all Small Businesses, Micro-Businesses, and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises to perform a commercially useful function on state contracts. The evaluation requires suppliers to meet five specific criteria: responsibility for execution of a distinct element of work, actual performance or management of work obligations, performance of work normal to their business function, responsibility for negotiating price and managing products and materials, and compliance with normal industry subcontracting practices.
The form serves as a certification mechanism whereby an authorized supplier representative must certify that their company meets all five criteria listed, and the buyer or cardholder must independently verify and confirm that a commercially useful function will be performed by the supplier. This document functions as an attachment to the IFB and ensures compliance with California's small business participation requirements by preventing pass-through arrangements that would merely create an appearance of small business involvement without substantive business activity or responsibility.

OBAS Form 201
COMMERCIALLY USEFUL FUNCTION EVALUATION FORM
(rev. 10/14)
Supplier Name: ________________________________________________________
On January 1, 2004, Chapter 623, Statutes of 2003, became effective and requires all Small Businesses, Micro-Businesses and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises to perform a “commercially useful function” in any contract they perform for the State.
Per GC 14837, Section 1: A business that is performing a commercially useful function is one that does ALL of the following:
1) Is responsible for execution of a distinct element of the work of the contract.
2) Carries out its obligation by actually performing, managing, or supervising the work involved.
3) Performs work that is normal for its business, services and function
4) Is responsible, with respect to products, inventories, materials, and supplies required for the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering, installing, if applicable, and making payment.
5) Is not further subcontracting a portion of the work that is greater than that expected to be subcontracted by normal industry practices.
Note: A contractor, subcontractor, or supplier will not be considered to perform a commercially useful function if the contractor’s, subcontractor’s, or supplier’s role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of small business or microbusiness participation.
