About this file

This is an Anti-Lobbying Certification Form required for the Food, Food Distribution, and Related Supplies contract opportunity (RFP 26W-1204) managed by Mohave on behalf of ASPIN in Arizona. The certification applies to a statewide food and related supplies distribution contract that will serve more than 770 ASPIN member locations across Arizona. The contract will be awarded for an initial one-year term with four optional one-year extensions. Offerors are permitted to propose alternate solutions and manufacturers that meet the quality and performance specifications outlined in the scope of work, with ASPIN/Mohave serving as the final judge on acceptance of any alternatives. The contract aims to establish relationships with qualified and experienced distributors to serve the current 150 ASPIN members in Arizona and accommodate additional members that may be added during the contract term.

The Anti-Lobbying Certification Form certifies compliance with the Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment (31 U.S. Code § 1352) and Federal Acquisition Regulation 52.203-11. Offerors must certify that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal transactions related to this contract award. Any non-federal funds used for lobbying activities must be disclosed on OMB Form LLL. All subcontractors receiving awards exceeding $100,000 must similarly certify and disclose. Violations of these provisions carry civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 per violation. This certification is a mandatory prerequisite for contract eligibility and must be included in all subcontract award documents.
