About this file
This is an Iran Free Procurement Certification Form (BOP-1701) issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania pursuant to Pennsylvania's Procurement Code Sections 3501-3506. The form applies to vendors seeking to contract with Commonwealth entities for goods or services valued at $1,000,000 or more in connection with the Professional Broadcast, Audio Visual & Multi-Media Equipment and Services contract opportunity. Vendors must certify their eligibility to contract with the Commonwealth by demonstrating they are not on the current list of persons engaged in investment activities in Iran maintained by the Pennsylvania Department of General Services, or alternatively provide documentation of an approved exemption from this requirement.
The form provides two compliance options for bidders. Under Option 1, vendors must certify that they are not engaged in investment activities in Iran and are therefore eligible to contract with Pennsylvania. Under Option 2, vendors who have obtained a written exemption from the Department of General Services may submit the contract while providing attached documentation of the exemption approval. Pennsylvania law imposes significant penalties for false certifications, including civil penalties of the greater of $250,000 or twice the contract amount, contract termination, and a three-year suspension from bidding on future Commonwealth contracts.
