2-Boycott Israel.pdf

This file is a policy document addressing boycott restrictions related to Israel and applies to the State of Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT). The document establishes procurement restrictions prohibiting state entities from entering into contracts with vendors or service providers who engage in boycotts of Israel or Israeli-related businesses. The policy outlines ADOT's commitment to compliance with Arizona state law regarding boycott prohibitions and sets forth requirements that all contractors and subcontractors must certify their non-participation in such boycotts as a condition of contract award and performance. The document specifies that contractors must acknowledge these restrictions upon solicitation release, with compliance verification required prior to contract execution.

The policy establishes mandatory certification requirements for all vendors responding to ADOT procurement opportunities, including the Acquisition and Relocation Services On Call solicitation. Contractors and subcontractors must affirm under penalty of perjury that they do not engage in, support, or participate in boycotts of Israel or Israeli commerce. Non-compliance or misrepresentation of boycott status can result in contract termination, debarment from future state procurements, and potential legal consequences. This restriction applies uniformly across all contract values and applies to both prime contractors and all subcontractors involved in contract performance.
