This is a Business Reference Form template for the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) related to a Request for Quotation (RFQ) for asbestos sample analysis services (DEP-NERO-RFQ-PRF77A). The form is designed to collect verifiable business references from bidders participating in this procurement opportunity. Bidders are required to submit a specified number of business references, which will be contacted to confirm the bidder's qualifications and ability to perform the requested commodities or services. The form requests comprehensive reference information including the reference organization name, primary contact person, complete address, email address, phone number, fax or alternative contact numbers, and a detailed description of the specific commodities or services provided along with the dates of service delivery.

The form emphasizes that bidders must ensure all listed references are obtainable and responsive to departmental inquiries, as failure to provide contactable references after reasonable attempts by the department may result in the bidder's response being deemed unresponsive and non-compliant with the RFQ requirements. The template accommodates up to three business references and is classified with a low sensitivity level, indicating it is suitable for general distribution and review throughout the procurement process.
