State law in Government Code section 1483 7 and Military and Veterans Code section 999 require that Certified Small Business, Microbusiness and Disabled Veteran Business Enterprise (DVBE) contractors, subcontractors, or suppliers must provide goods or services to the state by performing a commercially useful function (CUF).

A Certified Small Business, Microbusiness or DVBE contractor, subcontractor or supplier is considered to be performing a CUF when it meets all of the following criteria:

• Is responsible for the execution of a distinct element of work for the contract;

• Carries out contractual obligations by actually performing, managing, or supervising the work involved;

• Performs work that is normal for its business services and functions;

• Is responsible, with respect to products, inventories, materials, and supplies required for the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering, installing, if applicable, and making payment;

• Is not further subcontracting a portion of the work that is greater than expected to be subcontracted by normal industry practices; and,

• Its role is not limited to that of an extra participant in the transaction, contract or project through which funds are passed in order to obtain the appearance of Small Business, Microbusiness, or DVBE participation.

CUF requirement compliance must be declared by a bidder for CalSTRS contracting and then validated with a determination by CalSTRS.

All bidders for a CalSTRS contract must complete and submit the attached GSPD-05-105 Bidder Declaration form with their responses to any CalSTRS solicitation for contracting.

o Failure to complete or submit the Bidder Declaration form is cause for rejection of bid.

o The Bidder Declaration must be submitted under the penalty of perjury.

o Fraudulent representation of performing a CUF is unlawful and could carry a civil penalty.

Upon receipt of a response with the Bidder Declaration, CalSTRS contracting staff will validate the claims of fulfilling CUF requirements by reviewing the response and conducting follow up investigation if necessary. CalSTRS contracting staff must make a determination that the bidding contractor and subcontractor are in compliance with the CUF requirements. In case of determining incompliance, the bid may be rejected. There is no right to protest a rejection based on CUF incompliance.
