BIDDER DECLARATION FORM
All bidders must complete the Bidder Declaration Form GSPD-05-105 and include it with the bid response. When completing the declaration, bidders must identify all subcontractors proposed for participation in the contract; this includes equipment manufacturers, equipment distributors and resellers. A subcontractor is any person, firm, corporation, or organization contracting to perform any part of the prime’s contract.

If claiming the non-small business subcontractor preference, the form must list all the California small businesses with which you commit to subcontract in an amount of at least twenty-five percent (25%) of the net bid price. All certified small businesses must perform a “commercially useful function” in the performance of the contract as defined in Government Code Section 14837 (d)(4).
PROHIBITION ON TAX DELINQUENTS BIDDING (AB 1424)

This section applies to contracts executed on or after July 1, 2012. The Franchise Tax Board (FTB) and the California Department of Tax and Fee Administration (CDTFA) will post and periodically update lists of the 500 largest tax delinquencies on their websites as required by law. Starting on July 1, 2012 prior to executing contracts state agencies must check the FTB and CDTFA lists to ensure the proposed awardee/vendor is not on either list. If the proposed awardee is on either list, the bid may be considered non-responsive.
GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (GENAI) DISCLOSURE
The State of California seeks to realize the potential benefits of GenAI, through the development and deployment of GenAI, while balancing the risks of these technologies.
Bidder/Offeror must notify the State in writing if it: (1) intends to provide GenAI as a deliverable to the State; or (2), intends to utilize GenAI, including GenAI from third parties, to complete all or a portion of any deliverable that materially impacts: (i) functionality of a State system, (ii) risk to the State, or (iii) Contract performance. For avoidance of doubt, the term "materially impacts" shall have the meaning set forth in State Administrative Manual (SAM) 4986.2.
Failure to report GenAI to the State may result in disqualification. The State reserves its right to seek any and all relief it may be entitled to as a result of such non-disclosure.
Upon notification by a Bidder/Offeror of GenAI as required, the state reserves the right to incorporate GenAI Special Provisions into the final contract or reject bids/offers that present an unacceptable level of risk to the state.
Government Code 11549.64 defines “Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)” as an artificial intelligence system that can generate derived synthetic content, including text, images, video, and audio that emulates the structure and characteristics of the system’s training data.
