About this file

This is a Commercially Useful Function (CUF) Questionnaire issued by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation for a state contract opportunity involving shelter and weather tower equipment. The questionnaire applies to certified Small Business (SB) and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) prime contractors and subcontractors bidding on a procurement for one shelter and tower trailer, six 33-foot aluminum weather towers, and six aluminum weather tower bases, tilts, and frames. All bidders must complete and submit the CUF Verification Form as part of their bid response to ensure the bid is considered responsive.

The CUF Questionnaire requires certified SB and DVBE firms to demonstrate they perform a commercially useful function by satisfying five mandatory criteria: responsibility for executing a distinct element of work, carrying out obligations through actual performance or management of work, performing work normal to their business operations, performing the work themselves rather than further subcontracting beyond normal industry practices, and adding genuine value rather than serving merely as a pass-through entity. The applicant firm's owner or corporate officer must sign the document under penalty of perjury, certifying the accuracy and truthfulness of all information provided. The form requests vendor name, certification number for currently certified firms, and DBA information to verify the legitimacy and qualification of the bidding entity.
