Business Reference Form HSD FY22-02.doc

The document is a Business Reference Form for an HSD (likely Human Services Department) solicitation with reference number FY22-02, designed to collect business references for a bidder's qualification verification. The form requires the bidder to provide a specified number of business references, with each reference requiring details such as contact information, description of commodities and services provided, and dates of service. The form indicates that these references will be contacted to confirm the bidder's abilities and qualifications, and the department may deem the bidder's response unresponsive if references cannot be obtained after reasonable attempts.

The reference form has a low sensitivity level and serves as a critical component of the vendor evaluation process, allowing the contracting agency to independently verify the bidder's past performance, professional capabilities, and reliability. The form provides structured fields for multiple references, enabling a comprehensive assessment of the bidder's experience and competence in delivering services or commodities. By requiring detailed reference information, the form helps ensure that only qualified and reputable vendors are considered for the contract opportunity.
