About this file
This is a Certification of Noninvolvement in Prohibited Activities in Russia or Belarus form required by New Jersey state law (N.J.S.A. 52:32-60.1, et seq., L. 2022, c. 3) for vendors seeking to enter into or renew contracts with New Jersey state agencies. The certification applies to all vendors providing goods or services, or the purchase of bonds or other obligations to state agencies. Vendors must complete the certification by checking one of three boxes: (A) confirming they are not identified on the Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list due to Russia or Belarus-related activity; (B) indicating they are unable to certify option A because they are identified on the OFAC list for Russia or Belarus-related activity; or (C) indicating they are unable to certify option A but are engaged in Russia or Belarus-related activity consistent with federal law, regulation, license, or exemption. The form requires the vendor's authorized representative to provide a signature, printed name and title, Federal Employer Identification Number (FEIN), business name, phone number, address, fax number, and email address.
The form defines "vendor" broadly to include natural persons, corporations, partnerships, limited liability entities, business associations, sole proprietorships, joint ventures, and any governmental entities or instrumentalities, as well as any parent, successor, subsidiary, or entity under common ownership or control with such entities. Vendors must review the OFAC Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons list, available at https://sanctionssearch.ofac.treas.gov/, prior to completing the certification. If the New Jersey Department of the Treasury determines that a vendor has made a false certification, it may impose sanctions, seek compliance, recover damages, declare the party in default, or seek debarment or suspension. This certification is effective as of January 22, 2024, and applies to the Bergen County Utilities Authority's Request for Pre-Qualifications (RFPQ) for Energy Aggregation Advisor, Energy Agent, and Reverse Auction Platform Services.
