Exhibit_6_CBE_Form.xlsx

Exhibit 6 is a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) Form submission document for the State of California's Bare Rental Master Agreement procurement. This file serves as the standardized form through which bidders must document and verify their CBE status as part of the mandatory submission requirements. The form is an integral component of the overall bid package for the statewide equipment rental services framework, with a proposal submission deadline of June 30, 2026, following the May 19, 2026 posting date. Bidders are required to complete and submit this CBE documentation along with other standard bid forms, proof of business licensing and insurance, financial statements, and prospective bidder references to demonstrate their qualifications for providing bare rental equipment services across multiple equipment categories.

The CBE Form verification is a mandatory compliance requirement established under California state procurement regulations, with no exceptions permitted unless formally waived by the purchasing authority. Completion and submission of accurate CBE status documentation directly impacts bid eligibility and may influence scoring or consideration under state set-asides or preferences for certified small businesses or local vendors. The state reserves the right to apply CBE considerations as part of its evaluation methodology, and failure to provide adequate or verifiable certification documentation could result in bid rejection or scoring deductions, consistent with California procurement policies for master agreement frameworks.
