A Certified Supplier Performing a Commercially Useful Function
The U.S. Department of Transportation's regulations define Commercially Useful Function (CUF) as it applies to a Supplier as follows :

F.R . § 26.SS(c)(l). With respect to materials and supplies used to perform a contract, the DBE Supplier must also be responsible "for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering the material, and installing (where applicable) and paying for the material it self."49 C.F. R. § 26.55(c)(l).
A Supplier may apply 60% of the value paid for materials furnished that become a permanent part of the project toward the established DBE goal. A supplier is a firm that owns, operates, or maintains a store, warehouse, or other establishment in which the materials, supplies, articles or equipment of the general character described by the specifications and required under the contract are bought, kept in stock, and regularly sold or leased to the public in the usual course of business . The firm must be an established, regular business that engages, as its principal business and under its own name, in the purchase and sale or lease of the products in question. A Supplier who owns a delivery vehicle that is supplemented with long term lease agreements can apply 100% of the cost of transportation toward the established DBE goal.
