This is a Business Reference Form template used by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts for the Advertising Equity Audit Services contract opportunity. The form requires bidders to provide a specified number of business references that will be contacted to verify the bidder's abilities and qualifications as stated in their proposal response. The department reserves the right to deem a bidder's response unresponsive if a listed reference cannot be reached after reasonable attempts to contact them. The form includes sections for bidder information, the RFR name and number, and detailed reference information for each contact.

The Business Reference Form captures standard reference details including the reference organization name, primary contact person, complete address, email address, phone number, and fax or alternative contact number for each reference. Additionally, bidders must provide a description of the commodities or services provided by the reference and the dates those services were rendered. The template accommodates multiple references with identical information fields repeated for each entry, allowing bidders to demonstrate relevant experience through verifiable third-party sources. No specific pricing, set-aside information, or contract term details are contained within this template document.
