ATTACHMENT B - Submit Certificate of Insurance (2).pdf

This is a Certificate of Insurance submission attachment for a California state and local contract opportunity related to software security anti-ransomware agents (Contract 733003). The document establishes the insurance requirements and submission procedures that bidders must follow when responding to this procurement. Bidders are required to submit a Certificate of Insurance as part of their proposal package, demonstrating that they maintain adequate insurance coverage to perform under the contract terms. The attachment specifies the documentation format and proof of insurance that must be included with bid submissions to meet the state's risk management and liability protection requirements.

The certificate of insurance requirement serves as a safeguard for the state of California by ensuring that any awarded vendor maintains appropriate coverage for performance of security software services. This attachment does not specify particular coverage amounts or policy types directly within its scope as a submission instruction document, but rather establishes that proof of current, valid insurance must accompany all bids. Vendors must provide official certificates from their insurance carriers demonstrating active coverage prior to contract award, and insurance documentation becomes a prerequisite for bid acceptance and eventual contract execution.
