4-06. Debarment and Suspension Cert - RFP.pdf

This is a Debarment and Suspension Certification document issued by the Cherokee County School District (CCSD) Procurement Services Department in Georgia as part of an Request for Proposals (RFP) process for an Assessment Platform. The certification requirement applies to all bidders and their potential subcontractors participating in the solicitation. Bidders must certify under penalty of perjury that neither they nor any subcontractors they may utilize are debarred, suspended, ineligible, or excluded from contract awards by the U.S. Department of Agriculture or any other Federal, State, or Local Agency. The certification must be signed by a corporate officer with appropriate title and printed name, along with the legal name of the bidder and company name. Bidders unable to execute this certification will be deemed ineligible for award consideration.

The document requires that bidders immediately notify CCSD if they become debarred or placed on the Consolidated List of Debarred, Suspended, and Ineligible Contractors by any Federal entity during or after the bid process. All certifications will be verified by CCSD prior to contract award. The debarment and suspension requirements are imposed in the public interest to protect the Government's interests and are administered in accordance with the Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 48 C.F.R. Ch. 1 Subpart 9.4. This certification represents a mandatory compliance requirement for all proposers seeking to provide the K-12 Assessment Platform solution to the District.
