The document serves as a required certification that bidders must complete and submit as part of their proposal package for pest control services covering eligible ADES facilities throughout Arizona. The certification requirement applies to all vendors responding to the solicitation, which was posted on March 19, 2025, with proposals due by April 9, 2025.

This certification document is a mandatory federal and state compliance requirement that protects government agencies from contracting with vendors who have been debarred or suspended due to prior misconduct, non-performance, or other violations.

Failure to provide this certification or providing false information may result in bid rejection or contract termination.
