About this file
This is an Anti-Lobbying Certification Form required by Mohave Educational Services Cooperative (MESC), an Arizona-based statewide purchasing consortium representing approximately 480 public agencies, for Request for Proposal 26A-0212 seeking qualified vendors to provide food safety and sanitation consulting, educational training, and related supplies. The RFP encompasses comprehensive consulting services including hazard analysis, corrective action plan development, HACCP principles instruction, compliance reviews, on-site audits, evaluations, staff training, ANSI certification training and testing, and educational training covering biological and chemical hazards, cleaning and sanitizing, temperature control, food allergies, hand-washing, and personal hygiene. The pre-proposal conference is scheduled for January 29, 2026, the deadline for submitting questions is February 5, 2026, and proposals are due electronically through the OpenGov Procurement portal by February 12, 2026, at 3:00 p.m. The initial contract term is set for one calendar year from the effective date of award with four optional consecutive one-year extensions available based on satisfactory performance and continued competitive pricing.
The Anti-Lobbying Certification Form certifies vendor compliance with the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment (31 U.S. Code § 1352) and requires offerors to certify that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal transactions, and that any non-federal funds used for lobbying activities must be disclosed using OMB standard form LLL. Failure to comply with anti-lobbying requirements subjects violators to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each violation. This certification is a mandatory prerequisite for contract award and must be included in all subcontract awards at all tiers, with recipients of subcontract awards exceeding $100,000 required to provide similar certifications and disclosures. The RFP does not specify an overall budget value or award amount; pricing will be competitively evaluated based on submitted proposals, with MESC reserving the right to award multiple contracts to one or more responsive and responsible offerors.
