About this file
This is a Certificate Regarding Lobbying issued by the Illinois State Board of Education for a Manufacturing Equipment – Mills & Lathes contract opportunity in Illinois. The certificate serves as a mandatory compliance document for federal contracting and requires the authorized representative of the bidding organization to certify that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal agency officers, members of Congress, or congressional staff in connection with the contract award. The certificate must be completed and signed by an authorized representative and submitted as a prerequisite for contract consideration.
The certificate imposes strict disclosure and compliance requirements on all parties. If non-federal funds have been or will be used for lobbying activities related to the contract, the submitting organization must complete and submit ISBE Form 85-37, Disclosure of Lobbying Activities, in accordance with its instructions. All subrecipients, subcontractors, and sub-award recipients at all tiers must include identical certification language in their award documents and certify compliance accordingly. Failure to submit the required certification subjects the responsible party to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each violation, as mandated by Section 1352 of Title 31, U.S. Code. The document was modified to relocate the signature area for administrative purposes.
