1110230_Appendix_A_Purchasing_Required_Forms - DECLARATION 1ST PAGE (003) (1).pdf

This is a Certification of Business Enterprise (CBE) declaration form required by the California Department of Small Business (DSB) in coordination with the Los Angeles County Regional Information System (LACRIS) for the State of the Art (SOTI) services renewal solicitation RFB-IS-26200634-1. The procurement is designated as brand-only, limiting competition to specific vendors or incumbent providers. The request for bid was posted on February 17, 2026, with proposals due on February 27, 2026, providing a ten-day response window for interested vendors. All vendors must complete and submit this mandatory purchasing declaration form along with CBE certification documentation as baseline compliance requirements to be considered for award. The file appears to be the first page of the declaration documentation package required as part of the solicitation's mandatory forms appendix.

This procurement includes a Certification of Business Enterprise set-aside component, indicating that California's disadvantaged business enterprise program requirements apply and vendors must properly complete CBE forms to establish their eligibility and categorization within the state's procurement framework. The brand-only designation restricts competition to either the incumbent vendor or a limited class of approved branded solution providers, which may significantly limit the vendor pool. No incumbent vendor information, current contract values, award amounts, or specific budget ranges were disclosed in the available documentation. Prospective bidders must submit all required CBE certifications and purchasing declaration forms prior to the February 27, 2026 deadline and should consult the complete SOLICITATION RFB-IS-26200634-1 document for detailed technical specifications, pricing requirements, and integration requirements with existing LACRIS infrastructure.
