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 to affirm they do not have any prior involvement that would disqualify them from competing for the contract, specifically addressing restrictions outlined in section 287.057(19)(c) of Florida Statutes. The form provides space for a vendor's authorized representative to sign, print their name, and date the certification, confirming their eligibility to participate in the solicitation.

The certification prevents potential conflicts of interest by prohibiting firms that have previously performed feasibility studies, participated in drafting solicitation documents, or developed implementation programs from contracting with the agency on the same subject matter. The statute does allow respondents who have merely responded to a request for information to remain eligible for contract consideration. This document serves as a legal safeguard to ensure fair and unbiased competitive procurement processes, requiring vendors to self-certify their compliance with state procurement regulations before being considered for the contract opportunity.
