Business_Reference_Form.doc

This is a Business Reference Form template used by a government agency to evaluate bidder qualifications and experience. The form requires bidders to provide a specified number of business references that can attest to the bidder's ability to deliver commodities and services. For each reference, bidders must supply the reference name, contact person, address, phone number, fax or internet address, and a description of the commodities and services provided along with relevant dates. The form serves as a verification mechanism to confirm the accuracy of claims made in the bidder's proposal.

The agency reserves the right to contact listed references to verify the bidder's stated abilities and qualifications. If a reference cannot be reached after reasonable attempts to contact them, the agency may deem the bidder's response unresponsive and potentially disqualify the bid. This requirement ensures that bidders have demonstrable, verifiable experience relevant to the contract opportunity being solicited.
