This is a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) certification form submitted in support of a Request for Bids (RFB) IS-26200667 issued by the State of California Department of General Services for the procurement of printer hardware on a brand-only basis. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to supply printer equipment to support state agencies and authorized users throughout California, with bids due by March 17, 2026. Bidders must submit comprehensive pricing schedules for specified printer models and configurations as part of their responsive bids and are required to complete all mandatory state purchasing forms and certifications contained in Appendix A, including vendor registration and compliance documentation. The CBE certification form is a required submission component verifying that organizations meet California's statutory and regulatory requirements for state contracting and documenting their business certification status.

The procurement includes provisions for Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) participation, with small business set-asides or other designated category provisions potentially applicable under California procurement regulations. The solicitation documentation does not specify incumbent vendors, current contractors, or a specific budget range or award value, indicating that pricing will be negotiated based on submitted bids and the state's operational requirements. The procurement may utilize California Unified Fund (CUF) cooperative purchasing mechanisms, allowing member agencies and authorized entities to access pre-negotiated contracts with qualified vendors. The solicitation envisions potential multiple awards across qualified vendors to serve diverse agency needs, with delivery timelines, technical support obligations, volume discount structures, and contract renewal options to be specified in final award documents.
