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.

(Public Contract Code sections 10475, et seq.; Stats. 2008, Ch. 272). The Act was passed by the California Legislature and signed into law by the Governor to preclude State agencies generally from contracting with scrutinized companies that do business in the African nation of Sudan (of which the Darfur region is a part), for the reasons described in Public Contract Code section A scrutinized company is a company doing business in Sudan as defined in Public Contract Code section Scrutinized companies are ineligible to, and cannot, bid on or submit a proposal for a contract with a State agency for goods or services.

(See # 1 on the Attachment). A scrutinized company may still, however, submit a bid or proposal for a contract with a State agency for goods or services if the company first obtains permission from the Department of General Services (DGS) according to the criteria set forth in Public Contract Code section 10477(b). (See # 2 on the Attachment). PAYEE DATA RECORD Bidders shall complete and sign the Payee Data Record (STD. 204) and submit with IFB submittal.
