About this file

This is a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Compliance Form required by the State of California for the RFQ 26-171 BigHand Renewal contract opportunity. The form is mandatory for evaluating bids when the prime bidder or any subcontractor holds small business (SB), micro business (MB), or disabled veteran business enterprise (DVBE) certification under California Military and Veterans Code 999.5 and Government Code 14837.4(A/B). The form requires bidders to provide written, signed statements detailing the specific roles, services, and goods that the bidder and/or subcontractors will provide as part of the three-year BigHand software renewal project.

The CUF Compliance Form requires each certified business to demonstrate that it performs a commercially useful function by addressing five key criteria: executing a distinct element of the work, actually performing or managing the work rather than merely coordinating, performing work that is normal to its business function, maintaining responsibility for product sourcing and pricing decisions, and adhering to standard industry subcontracting practices. A separate form must be submitted for each SB, MB, or DVBE involved in the contract. The form requests the bidder's name, signature, date, and for subcontractors, the subcontractor name and business type classification. Completion and submission of this form is a compliance requirement for bid evaluation and contract award eligibility.
