Checkbox -Exhibit 6 CBE_Form - rev 2-3-22.xlsx

This is a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) form exhibit used by the State of California for consultant procurement. The form serves as a standardized template for documenting and verifying CBE status during the bidding process for consultant services contracts. The document establishes the framework for contractors to declare their CBE certification eligibility and provides checkboxes for various certification categories, including women-owned business enterprises (WBE), minority-owned business enterprises (MBE), disadvantaged business enterprises (DBE), and other applicable designations under California's contracting programs.

The form functions as a compliance and verification document that requires bidders to accurately identify their business classification status in relation to state contracting set-asides and preference programs. By completing this exhibit, contractors confirm their eligibility for consideration under specific contracting opportunities that may include CBE participation requirements, goals, or preferences. The form's structured format with checkbox options ensures consistent documentation across multiple consultant procurement solicitations and facilitates the state's tracking and reporting of small and disadvantaged business utilization in its contracting activities.
