About this file
This document is a Certificate of Independent Price Determination for a Bread and Bread Products bid for a school food authority, dated March 27, 2023, involving a Louisiana-based procurement for the 2025-2026 school year. The certificate is a prototype form requiring both the vendor and the school food authority to certify that pricing has been determined independently, without consultation or agreement with competitors, and that no attempts have been made to restrict competition in the bidding process.
The document includes provisions that vendors must affirm they have not engaged in collusive practices, have arrived at prices independently, and will not knowingly disclose pricing to competitors prior to procurement opening or award. The vendor must also certify that to the best of their knowledge, their organization, affiliates, subsidiaries, officers, directors, and employees are not currently under governmental investigation and have not been convicted of any prohibited acts involving conspiracy or collusion with respect to public contract bidding in the last three years. The document is part of a broader bid package for bread products that requires multiple additional certifications and documentation, including Child Nutrition labels, Buy American Certification, and insurance certificates.
