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.

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.

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. Per SAM section 4819.2, GenAI is defined as “the class of AI models that emulate the structure and characteristics of input data to generate derived synthetic content. This can include images, videos, audio, text, and other digital content.”
Bidder / Offeror / Contractor must notify the State in writing if their solution or service includes, or makes available, any GenAI, including GenAI from third parties or subcontractors.
The State has developed a GenAI Reporting and Factsheet (STD 1000) to be completed by the Bidder / Offeror / Contractor .
Failure to submit the GenAI Reporting and Factsheet (STD 1000) will result in disqualification of the Bidder / Offeror / Contractor.
Failure to report GenAI to the State may void any resulting contract. The State reserves its right to seek any and all relief it may be entitled to as a result of such non-disclosure.
Upon receipt of a Bidder / Offeror / Contractor GenAI Reporting and Factsheet (STD 1000), 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.
