About this file

This is a Conflict of Interest Affidavit and Disclosure form (Attachment B) referencing Maryland state procurement regulations under COMAR 21.05.08.08, effective July 2024. The document serves as a required submission form that must be included with bids or proposals for state contracts. The affidavit requires offerors, contractors, consultants, and subcontractors to declare any existing or potential conflicts of interest that could impair their ability to render impartial assistance to the State or create unfair competitive advantages. The form includes sections for detailed disclosure of any circumstances that give rise to conflicts of interest and requires immediate notification if conflicts arise after contract award.

The document defines "person" broadly to include all parties in the contracting chain, including employees or agents with authority to control or supervise contract work. Offerors must warrant that no relevant facts or circumstances exist that could create conflicts of interest, except as specifically disclosed in the designated section of the form. The affidavit must be signed under penalty of perjury by an authorized representative, and contractors must continue performance if conflicts arise after award until notified otherwise by the procurement officer. This standardized form ensures transparency and helps maintain the integrity of Maryland's state procurement process.
