This is a Business References form attachment for Contract No. HSS-26-037, issued by the Delaware Health and Social Services Division of Public Health. The contract concerns Interviewing Services for the Delaware Adult Tobacco Survey, an annual telephone-based survey of Delaware residents aged 18 and older designed to assess tobacco use prevalence and related factors among adults. The selected vendor will be responsible for administering the survey, which includes both landline and cell phone samples across the non-institutionalized Delaware population, as well as calculating sampling methodology and conducting comprehensive data analysis. The survey has been conducted annually since 2002 and is supported by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Office of Smoking and Health to evaluate Delaware's tobacco control program and inform future planning and program evaluation initiatives.

Prospective bidders must complete the Business References attachment in its entirety, providing a minimum of three business references with complete contact information, mailing addresses, years of business association, and descriptions of work performed. The form explicitly prohibits the listing of State of Delaware employees as references and requires bidders who have held a State contract within the last five years to provide a separate list of those contracts. Current vendor status must be indicated for each reference provided on the form.
