This is a Certificate of Insurance submission requirement document for the State of California's solicitation 709521 for FalconStor StorSafe networking data management services. Bidders are required to submit a Certificate of Insurance as part of their proposal package, which must meet state-specified minimum insurance coverage requirements. The certificate serves as proof of the bidder's insurance coverage and is a mandatory submission document alongside other required forms including Appendix A purchasing forms and Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certification exhibits. Failure to submit the Certificate of Insurance or incomplete insurance documentation may result in bid rejection or non-responsive status determination.

The Certificate of Insurance requirement reflects the state's risk management and vendor qualification standards for this data management services contract. While specific insurance coverage amounts and types are not detailed in this attachment, the document establishes that proof of adequate insurance is a prerequisite for bid acceptance. Bidders must ensure their insurance policies meet California's minimums and obtain official certificates from their insurance carriers prior to the proposal deadline of October 2, 2026, to avoid submission deficiencies that could disqualify their bids.
