DARFUR CONTRACTING ACT CERTIFICATION FORM

All bidders must complete the Darfur Contracting Act Certification Form (DFW 1080) and include it with the bid response.

For the reasons described in PCC Section 10475, the California Legislature and the Governor signed into law the Darfur Contracting Act of 2008, which precludes State agencies generally from contracting with “scrutinized” companies that do business in the African nation of Sudan.

“Scrutinized” companies, as defined in PCC Section 10476, are ineligible to, and cannot, bid on or submit a proposal for a Contract with a State agency for goods or services. Pursuant to PCC Section 10478, if a bidder currently or within the previous three years has had business activities in Sudan, it must certify that it is not a “scrutinized” company.

A “scrutinized” company may still, however, submit a bid if the company first obtains permission from the Department of General Services (DGS), as described in PCC Section 10477(b).

PAYEE DATA RECORD FORM

All bidders must complete the Payee Data Record Form (STD. 204) listing their Taxpayer Identification Number and include it in the bid response.

All bidders must complete the Bidder Declaration Form (DFW 1082) 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.

Bidders awarded a contract are contractually obligated to use the subcontractors for the corresponding work identified, unless the State agrees to a substitution and it is incorporated by amendment to the contract.

AMENDMENTS

Consistent with the terms and conditions of the original solicitation, and upon mutual consent, CDFW may execute written amendments to the Purchase Order.

RECYCLED CONTENT REQUIREMENTS

The State of California is required to purchase recycled-content products (RCPs) rather than nonrecycled products whenever price, quality, and availability are comparable. Furthermore, each state agency, including the agency’s contractor(s), is required to purchase RCPs in sufficient quantities to ensure that mandated RCP procurement goals are attained within sixteen product categories. These sixteen product categories and their respective minimum postconsumer-content recycled content (PCRC) requirements are available at the following web address:

https://calrecycle.ca.gov/buyrecycled/stateagency/categories/

In order to help state agencies identify all reportable purchases and all reportable RCP purchases, suppliers and agency contractors are mandated by the Public Contract Codes to certify the minimum, if not the exact, postconsumer recycled-content material, in the products, materials, goods, and supplies offered or sold to the state. Bidders must complete the Postconsumer-Content Certification Form (CalRecycle 74) and include it with the bid response.

Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI) REQUIREMENTS

The State of California seeks to realize the potential benefits of GenAI, through the development and deployment of GenAI tools, while balancing the risks of these new 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 Definitions for GenAI.

Failure to report GenAI to the State may result in disqualification. The State reserves the right to seek any and all relief to which 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.
