This is a Purchasing Required Forms document (Appendix A) for the State of California's plumbing products procurement under Request for Bid (RFB-IS-27200159-1). The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to supply plumbing products to support state operations across multiple agencies and facilities under a three-year supply agreement. Proposals are due September 30, 2026. Bidders must submit all required forms specified in Appendix A and the Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) Form (Exhibit 6) as integral components of their proposal response to be considered for award.

Pricing must be submitted on a market-basket basis, which establishes the standardized cost structure for evaluating proposals and determining contract value throughout the three-year term. Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) status is a qualification criterion for bid evaluation and is required for award eligibility, including any set-aside portions of the contract. All vendors must comply with state-specific requirements, insurance obligations, and performance standards outlined in the complete bid packet materials. Bidders are advised to review all addenda or amendments prior to the September 30 deadline to ensure full compliance with submission requirements.
