Appendix A Purchasing Required Forms - RF (1).pdf

This is a purchasing forms appendix document related to a Request for Bids (RFB-IS-26200996) issued by the State of California for the procurement of a 36-inch blueprint multi-function printer. The solicitation seeks one unit capable of performing large-format printing and copying functions to support state operational needs. Bids are due by June 11, 2026, and all bidders must complete the required forms specified in Appendix A as part of their submission package. The award will be made to the responsive and responsible bidder offering the best value to the state, with the equipment required to meet specified technical performance thresholds including print quality, speed, resolution, and paper handling capacity.

The procurement requires submission of a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) form, indicating a CBE eligibility or participation component, though the specific requirement designation—whether set-aside, preference, or documentation only—is not detailed in the available materials. The contract will be funded through appropriate state budget allocation and departmental appropriations for equipment purchases and capital improvements. This procurement leverages the California Uniform Procurement System (CUF) cooperative purchasing framework, which enables California public agencies to access pre-negotiated contracts and pre-vetted vendors at competitively bid pricing, thereby streamlining procurement processes and reducing individual agency administrative burden.
