Business+Reference+Form+Fillable.pdf

This is a Business Reference Form for the University of Massachusetts' American Sign Language (ASL) Interpreter Services contract opportunity in Massachusetts. The form requires bidders to provide three business references that demonstrate their qualifications and prior performance in delivering ASL interpreting services. Each reference entry requests the company name, reference contact information including name, address, phone number, and email, along with a detailed description and dates of services previously provided. The University explicitly states that references will be contacted to verify the bidder's abilities, qualifications, and performance history, and may deem a bidder's response unresponsive if any listed reference cannot be obtained after reasonable attempts.

The form serves as a critical evaluation tool within the bidding process, enabling the University to validate the experience and reliability of potential service providers before contract award. Bidders must ensure that all reference contacts are current and accessible, as the University's ability to verify the information provided directly impacts the responsiveness of their proposal. The reference verification process is a mandatory component of the selection criteria for ASL interpreter services.
