About this file
The document is an Affidavit of Compliance with Foreign Entity and Human Trafficking Laws from the Town of Palm Beach Procurement and Contracts Division. The affidavit requires entities seeking to contract with the town to certify they are not owned, controlled, or principally operated by governments of specified foreign countries of concern, including China, Russia, Iran, Cuba, and Venezuela. The document outlines detailed compliance requirements under Florida Statutes sections 287.138, 692.201, and 787.06, mandating that entities provide sworn statements attesting they do not meet prohibited criteria related to foreign ownership, control, or principal place of business.
The affidavit includes specific legal provisions preventing governmental entities from entering contracts with organizations that could potentially compromise personal identifying information or engage in human trafficking. Entities must declare they do not use coercion for labor or services, are not owned by foreign governments, and comply with anti-trafficking statutes. Violations can result in significant penalties, including civil actions, financial penalties up to twice the contract amount, ineligibility to contract with governmental entities for up to 5 years, and potential placement on suspended vendor lists. The document is part of a broader Florida legislative effort to protect against potential foreign interference and human trafficking in governmental contracting processes.
