ATTACHMENT B - Submit Certificate of Insurance.pdf

This is an Attachment B Certificate of Insurance form for the State of California's Elastic Cloud Renewal solicitation (1082356), a brand-only procurement requiring bidders to demonstrate adequate insurance coverage prior to contract execution. The RFB seeks renewal of Elastic Cloud services to maintain continuity of cloud infrastructure and related services across state agencies and departments, with a bid submission deadline of March 16, 2026. As a brand-only renewal, this limited-competition procurement restricts eligibility to the current vendor or authorized Elastic resellers rather than opening competition to alternative providers. Bidders must submit the Certificate of Insurance as part of required administrative documentation, along with completed standardized procurement forms addressing vendor registration, compliance certifications, nondiscrimination affirmations, and prior contract performance attestations.

The insurance certificate must demonstrate coverage for general liability, workers' compensation, and other mandated insurance types to establish contractor eligibility. The procurement incorporates California's small business and disadvantaged business enterprise (DBE) considerations, with the Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) Form serving as a compliance checkpoint for bidder verification. Bidders claiming small business or disadvantaged business status must provide appropriate certification documentation to qualify for applicable set-asides or preferences. The renewal arrangement anticipates continuation with the existing Elastic Cloud service provider or authorized resellers, ensuring seamless service continuity without disruption to dependent state agencies. Selected contractors will be required to maintain all specified service level requirements and performance standards throughout the contract renewal period, with budget alignment anticipated based on the state's existing Elastic Cloud expenditures and service levels.
