c) Volume III – Additional Requirements

(i) ANTI-MAFIA SCREENING

1. The United States is committed to ensuring that all Government contracts with performance in Italy remain free from infiltration or other influence by the Mafia. To that end, and in accordance with Italian Legislative Decree 159/2011 as amended, all offerors shall submit with their proposals a completed self-certification known as the “Comunicazione Antimafia” or “Informazione Antimafia” depending on the value of the contract. For contracts valued at less than the applicable European Community monetary threshold for defense contracts, contractors shall submit a completed “Comunicazione Antimafia” self-certification form. See Attachment No. 1. The applicable threshold for construction contracts for 2023 is €5,382,000, and the applicable threshold for supply and service contracts is €431,000. For contracts valued at more than the applicable European Community monetary threshold for defense contracts, contractors shall submit a completed “Informazione Antimafia” self-certification form. See Attachment No. 2.

2. In addition, prior to submitting a proposal, all offerors shall initiate registration on the “White List” with the Prefect (Prefetto) where their company is legally registered. The offeror shall submit proof with its proposal that it has initiated or accomplished the “White List” registration procedures. For non-Italian offerors who do not have a registered office in Italy, the offeror shall initiate registration on the “White List” with the Prefect (Prefetto) where the work will be performed.

3. The contractor is subject to Anti-Mafia screening prior to award and throughout the life of the contract. In the event that, prior to award, the Government discovers any Mafia-related indications or infiltration with respect to the offeror, the offeror will be considered non-responsible and will not be eligible for award.

4. Further, if during the life of this contract, the Government learns of any Mafia-related indications or infiltration against the contractor, the Government will consider this to be a failure to execute the work and may terminate the contract under the “Default” clause of the contract.

5. The contractor shall ensure that these Anti-Mafia provisions are included in any subcontracts and that the same Anti-Mafia provisions applicable to the prime contractor apply to its subcontractors. If during the life of this contract, the Government learns of any Mafia-related indications or infiltration against any subcontractor at any tier, the contractor agrees, if requested by the Government, to promptly terminate the subject subcontract and replace the Mafia-colluded subcontractor at its own cost with a compliant company.
