Exhibit 6 CBE Form Summary

This is a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) Form document for the State of California's plumbing products procurement under RFB-IS-27200159-1. The solicitation seeks qualified vendors to supply plumbing products to support state operations across multiple agencies and facilities under a three-year supply agreement. Proposals are due September 30, 2026. The bid packet requires vendors to submit pricing on a market-basket basis, which establishes standardized cost structures for evaluating proposals and determining contract value throughout the three-year term. Bidders must complete and submit all required forms specified in Appendix A (Purchasing Required Forms) along with the CBE Form (Exhibit 6) as part of their proposal response. The complete bid packet materials, including any addenda or amendments, should be reviewed prior to the September 30 deadline to ensure full compliance.

Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) status is a qualification criterion for bid evaluation and represents a key factor in award eligibility, including any set-aside portions of the contract. Vendors must demonstrate CBE certification as part of their proposal submission. All bidders must comply with state-specific requirements, insurance obligations, and performance standards outlined in the bid documents. The three-year contract term allows the State of California to establish a stable supply chain for plumbing products while providing qualified vendors with multi-year business opportunity.
