Certificate of Insurance Requirements

Insurance Requirements for Suppliers and Contractors

Cal State LA suppliers and contractors may be required to provide evidence of appropriate insurance coverage before beginning work, delivering services, accessing University property, or performing other contractual obligations.

The required types and limits of insurance will depend on the nature of the goods or services, the associated risks, and the terms of the applicable solicitation, purchase order, contract, or agreement. Suppliers and contractors are responsible for maintaining the required coverage for the entire duration of their work with the University.

Important: Services may not begin until all required insurance documentation has been submitted, reviewed, and accepted by Cal State LA.

Maintaining Coverage

The supplier or contractor must maintain, or cause to be maintained, the required insurance coverage for no less than the duration of the contract. Coverage must apply to claims that may arise from or relate to the products, services, activities, or operations performed under the agreement.

Suppliers and contractors are responsible for providing updated documentation before any policy expires. A lapse, cancellation, or material reduction in required coverage may result in suspension of work until acceptable coverage is restored.

Submission of insurance documentation does not constitute acceptance. Documentation must be reviewed and approved by the University before work begins.
