2-Attachment 3_Forced Labor of Ethnic Uyghurs Ban.pdf

This document is a forced labor compliance attachment related to an on-call acquisition and relocation services solicitation issued by the State of Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) under the Arizona Procurement Code, A.R.S. 41-2501 et seq. The attachment establishes mandatory compliance requirements prohibiting the use of forced labor, particularly addressing concerns regarding the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs. ADOT is seeking qualified firms or individuals to provide comprehensive on-call acquisition and relocation services to support transportation-related projects, with a proposal submission deadline of April 25, 2025, approximately three weeks from the April 4, 2025 release date. The solicitation contemplates a competitive, open procurement process for professional service providers capable of managing property acquisition, right-of-way procurement, and relocation activities across multiple years.

Respondents must comply with all forced labor prohibitions outlined in the attachment as a condition of contract award and performance. The contract structure appears to be a multi-year on-call arrangement with potential annual values ranging from $100,000 to several million dollars depending on project scope and complexity. Interested firms must demonstrate extensive experience in similar government infrastructure projects, understanding of Arizona's regulatory environment, and the capability to handle complex property transactions. While specific set-aside designations are not explicitly detailed in available information, typical state procurement opportunities may include provisions for small businesses, minority-owned enterprises, or disadvantaged business enterprises. Contractors must maintain full compliance with all applicable federal and state regulations, including supply chain integrity and labor law requirements throughout contract performance.
