About this file
The document is a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Compliance Form required under Military and Veterans Code 999.5 and Government Code 14837.4, which applies to state solicitations involving small businesses, micro businesses, or disabled veteran business enterprises (DVBE). The form is designed to ensure that these certified businesses perform a meaningful and substantive role in state contracts by demonstrating their ability to execute a distinct element of work, manage or supervise project activities, perform work consistent with their normal business functions, and handle key responsibilities such as price negotiation, quality determination, ordering, and payment.
The form requires bidders or subcontractors to provide detailed written statements addressing five specific criteria that demonstrate a "commercially useful function" in the contract. These criteria include being responsible for a distinct work element, actually performing or managing the work, conducting work typical to their business services, managing project-related products and supplies, and ensuring subcontracting practices align with normal industry standards. Businesses must complete a separate form for each small business, micro business, or DVBE involved in the contract, with spaces provided for the bidder's and/or subcontractor's name, signature, date, and business type.
