The file is a certification form designed to verify and document disadvantaged business enterprise and small business status for bidders participating in the three-year courier services contract.

The CBE Form is a critical compliance document that enables eligible businesses to document their certification status and claim any applicable business enterprise set-asides under California's procurement requirements. This form allows disadvantaged and small business enterprises to substantiate their eligibility for preferential consideration in the bidding process, which may provide competitive advantages during evaluation. Completion and accurate submission of this exhibit is mandatory for vendors seeking to leverage any CBE-related preferences or set-asides in the award decision. The form is integrated into the overall submission requirements and will be reviewed as part of the standard competitive bidding evaluation process alongside pricing proposals and technical qualifications.
