Non-Collusion Affidavit Summary
This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit template document required by Montgomery County Community College for multiple competitive bidding opportunities in Pennsylvania. The affidavit must be executed by an authorized member, officer, or employee of the bidding firm who is responsible for final pricing decisions. The form requires sworn statements confirming that bid prices were developed independently without consultation or agreement with other bidders, that pricing information has not been disclosed to competitors, and that no attempts have been made to induce other firms to refrain from bidding or submit noncompetitive bids. Submission of the completed, notarized affidavit is mandatory for bid consideration, and failure to comply with submission instructions may result in bid disqualification. For joint ventures, each party must submit a separate affidavit.
The affidavit includes disclosure requirements regarding any prior convictions or findings of liability within the previous three years for acts involving conspiracy or collusion in public contract bidding. False statements in the affidavit are treated as fraudulent concealment and are subject to criminal prosecution under Pennsylvania Commonwealth Procurement Code Section 4507 (62 Pa.C.S. § 4507). While a bidder's disclosure of prior collusion-related convictions does not automatically prohibit contract award, it may serve as grounds for administrative suspension, debarment, or determination that the bidder lacks responsibility for contract performance. The college emphasizes that bidders must carefully examine all statements for accuracy and conduct diligent inquiry of all personnel involved in bid preparation before executing the affidavit.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR NON-COLLUSION AFFIDAVIT
1. This Non-Collusion Affidavit is material to any contract awarded pursuant to this Bid. According to Section 4507 of the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Procurement Code, 62 Pa.C.S. § 4507, governmental agencies may require Non-Collusion Affidavits to be submitted together with bids.
2. This Non-Collusion Affidavit must be executed by the member, officer or employee of the bidder who makes the final decision on prices and the amount quoted in the bid.
3. Bid rigging and other efforts to restrain competition, and the making of false SWORN statements in connection with the submission of bids are unlawful and may be subject to criminal prosecution. The person who signs the Affidavit should examine it carefully before signing and assure himself or herself that each statement is true and accurate, making diligent inquiry, as necessary, of all of persons employed by or associated with the bidder with responsibilities for the preparation, approval or submission of the bid.
4. In case of a bid submitted by a joint venture, each party to the venture must be identified in the Bid Documents, and an Affidavit must be submitted separately on behalf of each party.
5. The term “Complementary Bid” as used in the Affidavit has the meaning commonly associated with that term in the bidding process, and includes the knowing submission of bids higher than the bid of another firm, any intentionally high or noncompetitive bid, and any other form of bid submitted for the purpose of giving a false appearance of competition.
6. Failure to file an Affidavit in compliance with these instructions may result in disqualification of the bid.
7. A bidder’s statement that it has been convicted or found liable for any act prohibited by Federal or State Law in any jurisdiction involving conspiracy or collusion with respect to bidding on any public contract within the last three (3) years does not prohibit a government agency from accepting a bid from or awarding a contract to that bidder, but it may be grounds for administrative suspension or debarment in the discretion of the government agency under the rules and regulations of that agency or, in the case of a government agency with no administrative suspension or debarment regulations or procedures, may be grounds for consideration on the question of whether the agency should decline to award a contract to that person on the basis of lack of responsibility.
