This document is Attachment 2 of a solicitation (No. BPM004453) for DCS IT Maintenance and Operations Services, issued by the State of Arizona's Department of Child Safety, Office of Procurement & Contracts in Phoenix, Arizona. The document specifically focuses on a Boycott of Israel Disclosure form, which is a mandatory certification for International Business Machines Corporation (IBM), requiring the company to disclose its stance on business activities related to Israel.

The solicitation requires IBM to certify whether it participates in a boycott of Israel, with options to either affirm non-participation or claim exemption based on specific conditions such as having a contract value under $100,000, being a sole proprietorship, having fewer than ten employees, or being a non-profit organization. The document is part of a compliance mechanism under Arizona Revised Statutes § 35-393, which prohibits public entities from entering contracts with companies engaged in boycotts against Israel. IBM, represented by Kapil K. Gupta (IBM Consulting Partner), has completed the form at the company's Armonk, New York address, indicating their commitment to the state's contractual requirements.
