This is a Business Reference Form template used by a state or local government agency to evaluate bidder qualifications and performance history. The form requires bidders to provide an unspecified number of business references (to be inserted by the agency) that will be contacted to verify the bidder's stated abilities and qualifications. The department reserves the right to deem a bid response unresponsive if a listed reference cannot be reached after reasonable contact attempts. The template includes fields for bidder information, RFR name/title, and RFR number, followed by spaces for multiple reference entries.

Each reference entry requires the reference name, contact person, address, email address, phone number, fax or other contact number, and a description of the commodities or services provided along with relevant dates. The template provides space for three separate references, with identical information fields for each entry. All fields are presented as placeholder text requiring completion by the bidding organization. The document is classified as having a low sensitivity level.
