About this file

This document is a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Certification Form from the State of California Department of Veterans Affairs, with a solicitation number of 25FS0032. The form is designed for certified Small Businesses (SB), Micro Businesses (MB), and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) to demonstrate their ability to perform a meaningful role in a contract by meeting specific commercially useful function requirements under Government Code and Military and Veterans Code.

The form requires businesses to answer five key questions about their potential contract participation, including whether they will be responsible for executing a distinct element of work, carrying out contract obligations through performance or supervision, performing work normal to their business functions, and avoiding excessive subcontracting. The form emphasizes that a "No" response to questions 1-3 or a "Yes" response to question 4 may result in the quote being deemed non-responsive and disqualified. Businesses are also required to provide a written statement detailing their proposed role, services, and goods to meet the commercially useful function requirement, with the understanding that additional clarifying information may be requested by the state prior to award.
