25-84131500-ITN DFS BOR Attachment S No prior involvement.pdf

Attachment S is a Statement of No Prior Disqualifying Involvement document for Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) No. 25-84131500-ITN issued by the Florida Department of Management Services on behalf of the Department of Financial Services' Division of Risk Management. The document is a certification form that requires a respondent (vendor) to affirm they have no prior involvement that would disqualify them from contracting, specifically addressing restrictions outlined in section 287.057(19)(c) of Florida Statutes. The form requires the vendor's authorized representative to sign, confirming they have not been involved in drafting the solicitation, performing feasibility studies, or developing implementation programs that would prevent them from receiving the contract.

The form is part of a larger procurement process for a Broker of Record and Reinsurance Broker services contract, which prevents potential conflicts of interest by ensuring that entities who have been involved in preliminary contract preparation cannot subsequently bid on the same contract. By signing this document, the vendor attests that they have not engaged in activities that would render them ineligible, such as participating in feasibility studies or solicitation drafting for this specific procurement. The certification is a standard procedural requirement designed to maintain fairness and transparency in the state's competitive bidding process, ensuring that no vendor gains an unfair advantage through prior insider involvement in the contract development.
