ESBD_520047_1779500948660_Attachment 5 References.docx

This is a references attachment document from the South Texas Development Council (STDC) for a solicitation, requiring bidders to provide three professional references from entities other than STDC that are similar in nature and can verify performance of comparable services as specified in the request for proposals. The attachment serves as a standardized form for documenting reference information, with designated fields for each of the three required references. Each reference entry requires the company name, address, contact person, title, telephone number, email address, scope of work performed, and contract period. The solicitation explicitly notes that inaccurate, obsolete, or negative responses from references may result in rejection of quote proposals, making reference verification a critical evaluation component.

The document does not contain information regarding pricing terms, contract award dates, contract duration, renewal options, or funding sources, as it functions solely as a template for reference documentation. No set-asides, incumbent information, or financial requirements are specified in this attachment. Bidders must ensure references are from organizations sufficiently similar to STDC to demonstrate relevant experience and capability in delivering the services outlined in the RFP.
