Accordingly, should the State determine Contractor is a target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for termination of this

A business performing a CUF is one that does all five (5) of the following functions: The Contractor shall perform a commercially useful function relevant to this solicitation and provide services or goods that contribute to the fulfillment of the contract requirements.

To be considered the contractor/subcontractor must meet the following criteria:

1. Is responsible for the execution of a distinct element of the work of the contract.

2. Carries out the obligation by actually performing, managing, or supervising the work involved.

3. Performs work that is normal for its business services and functions.

5. 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.

A contractor, subcontractor, or supplier will not be considered to perform a commercially useful function if the contractor's, subcontractor's, or supplier's role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed through solely to be qualified to submit a proposal or awarded the contract.

Declaration Forms: All bidders must complete the Bidder Declaration 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. 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.

At the State’s option prior to award, bidders may be required to submit additional written clarifying information. Failure to submit the required written information as specified may be grounds for bid rejection.

TACPA Preference: This solicitation provides for the optional TACPA preference for bids above $100,000.00. Bidders are not required to apply for this preference. Denial of the TACPA preference request is not a basis for rejection of the bid/offer. The TACPA workplace and workforce preferences will be evaluated for this solicitation. California-based companies seeking TACPA preferences will need to complete and submit preference request forms with the bid/offer.

The following webpage contains required preference request forms and an interactive map to determine if a business is located within a TACPA qualified zone: Request-a Target-Area-Contract-Preference.

By submitting TACPA forms, a bidder given a TACPA preference agrees to the TACPA contract provisions required by Government Code section 4535 and provided in section 1896.40 of Title 2 of the California Code of Regulations (CCR) in addition to requirements specified on the TACPA form STD 830.

Breaking Tie Bids: Buyers will settle tie bids through a coin toss, performed by the buyer with at least one witness.

The witness will assign the tied bidders either heads or tails, while the buyer flips the coin. The date of the coin toss, the vendor assignments, the witness and the result will be documented in the procurement file.

GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (GenAI) Disclosure

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.
