Appendix_A_Purchasing_Required_Forms 2026.pdf

This is a purchasing required forms document for a State of California procurement opportunity (RFB-IS-26200548) seeking the acquisition of plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs), specifically Kia Niro PHEV or Toyota Prius PHEV models for state agency fleet electrification. The solicitation was posted on January 14, 2026, with proposals due by January 22, 2026. The procurement aligns with California's sustainability objectives by targeting environmentally conscious vehicles that combine electric and internal combustion propulsion capabilities. Bidders must submit comprehensive proposals addressing technical specifications outlined in the RFB-IS-26200548 SPECIFICATIONS document, which details performance and operational criteria for the vehicles. Evaluation will consider factors including vehicle performance, warranty coverage, maintenance support, compliance with California emissions standards, and total cost of ownership.

Bidders are required to complete a standardized set of forms to demonstrate compliance with state procurement regulations, including documentation of business ownership, financial statements, and organizational structure. The procurement includes provisions for Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) participation, as indicated by the Exhibit_6_CBE_Form, which suggests potential set-aside opportunities or preferential consideration for disadvantaged business enterprises. This structured approach to vendor documentation ensures compliance with California's procurement guidelines and facilitates diverse vendor participation. Interested vendors must carefully review all documentation, including the RFB solicitation, technical specifications, CBE forms, and required purchasing forms to ensure full compliance and eligibility for selection.
