This is a Bidder Declaration form used by the State of California for state and local contract opportunities, specifically for an RFQ related to lobster trap tags needed for the 2026 lobster season. The form requires prime bidders to provide their California vendor name, current certification status (Minority Business/Small Business/Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise), and identify whether subcontractors will be used for contract performance. If subcontractors are employed, bidders must list all subcontractors with their contact information, complete addresses, California certification numbers, specific work elements or goods to be provided, and the corresponding percentage of the bid price allocated to each subcontractor. The form accommodates up to four subcontractors with space for detailed information on each.

The Bidder Declaration must be completed and signed under penalty of perjury by an authorized representative of the bidding company, certifying that all information provided is true and correct. This form serves as a mechanism for California to track minority and small business participation, verify vendor qualifications, and monitor subcontractor involvement in state and local contract awards. The form does not establish pricing terms, set-asides, or funding amounts; rather, it functions as a certification document requiring bidders to disclose their business structure and any minority or disadvantaged business certifications held by the prime bidder and associated subcontractors.
