About this file

This is a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Certification Form issued by the State of California Department of Veterans Affairs for solicitation number 25FS0032. The form is designed for certified Small Business (SB), Micro Business (MB), and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers to demonstrate their ability to perform a distinct and meaningful role in a contract. The document requires businesses to answer a series of questions about their proposed involvement in the contract, including whether they will be responsible for executing a distinct element of work, carrying out contract obligations through performance or supervision, and performing work typical to their business functions.

The form requires businesses to certify that they will not subcontract an unusually large portion of work beyond normal industry practices and that their role will not be limited to merely passing funds through to create an appearance of participation. The document includes a section for a written statement detailing the company's specific role, services, and goods to be provided. The form must be signed by an authorized representative who certifies under penalty of perjury that all information provided is truthful and accurate. Businesses must answer "Yes" to questions 1-3 and "No" to questions 4-5 to be considered responsive, with any deviation potentially resulting in disqualification from the solicitation.
