5-MBE_Utilization_Form.docx

This is an MBE Utilization Form submitted by the City of New Haven, Connecticut, as part of the procurement process for the Unitized Breakfast 26-27 contract supporting the Board of Education Food Service. The form requires contractors to submit comprehensive documentation of all subcontractors that will be utilized on the project, including subcontractor names, addresses, types of work to be performed, dollar amounts, and outreach methods used to secure their participation. The City of New Haven is soliciting proposals for breakfast items to support the school system's meal program, which operates for approximately 182-190 days annually.

The City of New Haven has established a minority and women-owned business enterprise (MBE/WBE) participation goal of 25% for this project. Contractors must certify their achievement of this goal and provide detailed subcontractor classifications indicating MBE and WBE status. Submission of a completed MBE Utilization Form is mandatory; failure to complete and submit the form will result in the contractor's response being deemed non-responsive and subject to rejection. The form was last revised on September 25, 2024, and requires contractor signature and approval by the City's relevant department.
