About this file

This document is a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Certification Form issued by the State of California Department of Veterans Affairs for solicitation number 25CRY016. The form is designed for certified Small Businesses (SB), Micro Businesses (MB), and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprises (DVBE) who will perform work in a state contract. It requires businesses to demonstrate they will play a substantive role in contract execution by answering five key questions about their proposed involvement, including whether they will be responsible for a distinct element of work, actually perform or manage the work, do work normal to their business functions, and avoid excessive subcontracting.

The form serves as a compliance mechanism to ensure small and veteran-owned businesses are genuinely participating in state contracts, not merely serving as pass-through entities. A "No" response to questions 1-3 or a "Yes" to question 4 may result in the quote being deemed non-responsive and disqualified. The form requires an authorized representative to certify under penalty of perjury that all provided information is truthful and accurate, with space for the business to provide a written statement detailing their specific role, services, and goods they will provide to meet the commercially useful function requirement.
