Exhibit B-Prospective Bidder References MMR- REQUIRED.pdf

This is a prospective bidder references exhibit for an Influenza Preparedness Consultant solicitation with the State of California. The document establishes reference requirements that bidders must submit as part of their proposal. Prospective bidders are required to provide information about previous clients and projects demonstrating relevant experience in influenza preparedness consulting. The references serve as validation of the bidder's qualifications, technical capabilities, and experience delivering similar services to public health agencies or government entities. The document outlines the format, number of references, and specific information that must be included for each reference, enabling the state to conduct due diligence in evaluating bidder qualifications prior to contract award.

The reference submission requirements appear to be mandatory for proposal consideration, with detailed specifications regarding contact information, project scope descriptions, and client validation details that bidders must provide. This exhibit functions as a critical evaluation tool for the State of California to assess bidder capacity and demonstrated past performance in influenza preparedness work before making a final contract award decision for this consulting engagement.
