AttachB1 SB Self Cert - ATLP.docx

This is a Small Business Self-Certification Statement attachment for the Washington State Department of Children, Youth & Families (DCYF) Adolescent Transitional Living Program (ATLP) Region 6 competitive solicitation (RFQ 26-DCYF-CW-104). DCYF seeks to award up to one contract to provide ATLP services to five male-identifying youth ages 16 to 21 who are under DCYF care and custody in Region 6. The contract is structured as a rate-based agreement for the provision of transitional living services to the specified youth population.

The self-certification statement establishes eligibility criteria for small business bidders, defining "small business" as an in-state business entity that is independently owned and operated and meets at least one of two threshold requirements: either fifty or fewer employees, or gross revenue of less than seven million dollars annually as reported on federal income tax returns or state department of revenue filings over the previous three consecutive years. Bidders must certify under penalty of perjury that their entity meets this definition of small business by submitting a signed statement with their proposal.
