BUSINESS REFERENCE FORMS~12.docx

This is a Business Reference Form template for the Veterans' Home in Holyoke, a Massachusetts state agency, soliciting personal laundry services for veterans. The form requires bidders to provide a specified number of business references that will be contacted to verify the bidder's qualifications and capabilities as stated in their proposal response. The template includes fields for bidder information, RFR name/title, and RFR number, followed by sections for multiple references with required contact details including name, contact person, address, email, phone, and fax or other contact numbers. Each reference entry also requires a description of the commodities or services provided and the dates such services were rendered. The Veterans' Home in Holyoke is transitioning from a 128-bed facility to a new 234-bed facility, with personal laundry services scheduled to commence on October 1, 2026.

The form does not contain specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding information. The template is designed as a standardized submission document for bidders responding to the RFR and emphasizes that the department may deem a bidder's response unresponsive if listed references cannot be reached after reasonable contact attempts. Additional details regarding specifications, service requirements, and solicitation terms are referenced as being available in the RFR document located in the attachments tab of the original solicitation.
