Exhibit 6 CBE Form.xlsx

This is a Certified Business Enterprise (CBE) Form related to a California state and local contract opportunity (O261510, 556-27002) for Red Hat renewal services under the SNSIRM-20213 procurement. The form serves as documentation for contractor certification and compliance verification with California's disadvantaged business enterprise requirements. The document establishes the framework for certifying eligible businesses that meet specific criteria for participation in this renewal contract for Red Hat software licensing and support services.

The CBE Form functions as a qualification and eligibility verification document that contractors must complete to demonstrate their certified status as a minority-owned, women-owned, disabled veteran-owned, or other eligible small business enterprise. This certification is a prerequisite for bidding on the Red Hat renewal contract and may provide additional consideration in the evaluation process or unlock set-aside opportunities reserved specifically for certified enterprises. The form requires detailed company information, ownership documentation, and verification of California CBE certification status to ensure compliance with state procurement regulations and support of California's small business participation goals.
