This document is a Business Reference Form template for a state or local government procurement process. The form provides guidelines for bidders to submit business references as part of a Request for Response (RFR), requiring bidders to provide a specific number of references that can confirm their abilities and qualifications. The document includes multiple sections for bidders to enter reference information, including company name, contact details, address, email, phone numbers, and a description of commodities or services previously provided.

The form indicates that references will be contacted to verify the bidder's capabilities, and the procuring department may deem a response unresponsive if references cannot be obtained after reasonable attempts. The sensitivity level of the document is marked as low, suggesting it contains standard, non-sensitive procurement information. The template is designed to be filled out by the bidder, providing a standardized method for evaluating vendor qualifications through third-party reference verification.
