2-Attachment 3 Small Business Unavailability Certificate.pdf

This document is Attachment No. 3, a Small Business Unavailability Certificate form, which is part of a proposal submission package. The form is designed for bidders to document their attempts to engage small businesses for potential subcontracts or supply orders on a specific project. The template requires the bidder to list up to six small businesses, including details such as date contacted, business name, telephone number, contact person, materials or services sought, and the results of those outreach efforts.

The certificate serves as a formal documentation of a bidder's good faith efforts to include small businesses in their proposal, even if those businesses were unavailable, unable to prepare a proposal, or had their proposals rejected. By completing this form, the bidder is providing transparency about their small business participation attempts and seeking a waiver for small business involvement. The form must be submitted with all proposal documents and requires a signature certifying the accuracy of the information provided.
