About this file

The document is a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Certification Form issued by the State of California Department of Veterans Affairs for Solicitation Number 25HS0001. This form is designed for certified Small Businesses (SB), Micro Businesses (MB), and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) who will perform work on a state contract, requiring them to demonstrate that they will provide a meaningful and substantive role in contract execution. The form requires businesses to certify that they will be responsible for a distinct element of work, carry out contract obligations by performing, managing, or supervising the work, and perform work normal to their business functions.

The certification form mandates that businesses answer specific questions to prove they are not merely a pass-through entity or subcontracting an unusually large portion of work. A response of "No" to questions 1-3 or a "Yes" to question 4 may result in the quote being deemed non-responsive and disqualified. The form requires an authorized representative to sign under penalty of perjury, affirming the truthfulness of the provided information. The goal is to ensure that certified small and veteran-owned businesses are genuinely participating in and contributing to state contract work, not just serving as nominal participants to meet diversity or small business requirements.
