2-Non Collusive.pdf

This is a Non-Collusive Bidding Certification form required for participation in a New York state and local contract opportunity for a benchtop bioreactor system sought by HVCC (Hudson Valley Community College) for mammalian cell culture and FMP bioprocess education. By submitting a bid, each bidder certifies under penalty of perjury that bid prices have been developed independently without collusion, consultation, communication, or agreement with other bidders or competitors regarding pricing or any matters relating to such prices. The certification further requires bidders to attest that quoted prices have not been knowingly disclosed to other bidders or competitors prior to bid opening and that no attempts have been made to induce any other person, partnership, or corporation to submit or refrain from submitting bids for the purpose of restricting competition.

The form requires bidders to provide printed name, signature, title, corporation name, federal identification number, and date of execution. This certification document serves as a mandatory compliance requirement to ensure fair and open competition in the bidding process and to prevent anticompetitive practices among potential vendors responding to the benchtop bioreactor system procurement.
