1-Non Collusive.pdf

This is a Non-Collusive Affidavit form required by Hudson Valley Community College (HVCC) in New York for the Glass Repair Service contract opportunity. The document serves as a certification statement that must be completed and submitted by bidders as part of their proposal response. The affidavit requires the bidder or authorized representative to attest under penalty of perjury that the bid has been prepared independently without collusion, fraud, or any illegal agreement with other bidders or parties. The form must be signed and notarized or executed before a witness, and submission of this certification is a mandatory requirement for bid consideration.

The Non-Collusive Affidavit is a standard procurement compliance document designed to ensure fair competition and prevent bid-rigging. Bidders must certify that they have not discussed pricing, terms, or other bid-related information with competitors, and that the bid represents the independent business judgment of the submitting entity. Failure to submit a properly executed affidavit may result in bid rejection. This document is a routine but essential component of public procurement processes for state and local government contracts in New York, intended to maintain procurement integrity and protect the public interest in obtaining competitive pricing and quality services.
