13-New Procurement Certification-GA-48.pdf

This is a certification form relating to the hardening of state government pursuant to Executive Order GA-48, involving a College and potential respondents/contractors. The form requires respondents to certify that neither they nor their holding companies or subsidiaries are listed in Section 889 of the 2019 National Defense Authorization Act, listed in Section 1260H of the 2021 National Defense Authorization Act, owned by the government of a country on the U.S. Department of Commerce's foreign adversaries list under 15 C.F.R. Section 791.4, or controlled by any governing or regulatory body located in a country on that same foreign adversaries list. The form includes checkboxes for "YES, I agree to the above" or "NO, I do NOT agree to the above" and requires signature, printed name, title, and date.

The certification acknowledges that the College cannot enter into new contracts, contract extensions, or contract renewals for goods or services with any company that meets the prohibited criteria outlined in the four conditions. This appears to be a mandatory compliance document that must be completed as part of a broader procurement process, designed to ensure that state government entities do not engage with companies that may pose national security risks or have connections to foreign adversaries as defined by federal regulations.
