Bidders must provide a written statement detailing the role, services, and goods their subcontractors will provide to satisfy CUF requirements, or indicate "Not claiming a preference" if not pursuing SB or DVBE designation. By signing the certification, the bidder's authorized representative certifies that the certified SB or DVBE meets CUF requirements. The State reserves the right to request additional written clarification from bidders prior to contract award.
