This is an Exhibit F Vendor Release of Liability form for the Texas Cyber Command Solicitation. The form serves as a vendor reference release document that must be completed and signed by the vendor for each identified reference submitted with the vendor's response to RFO 371-000XX. The form requests that companies providing business references disclose any information deemed relevant relating to the vendor's or key staff person's business relationship with the reference provider. The document requires completion of fields identifying the reference company, the vendor or key staff person seeking the reference, and signature authorization from the vendor representative, including date, printed name, and title.

By executing this release form, the entity signing the document releases the reference-providing company, its agents, employees, and all affiliated persons and corporate entities from any liability, claims, or causes of action that may arise from their disclosure of reference information. This protection enables reference providers to share candid assessments of vendor performance and qualifications without legal risk, thereby facilitating the evaluation team's ability to obtain honest feedback on vendor capabilities and experience.
