About this file
This document is a Certificate of Independent Price Determination for a Louisiana School Food Authority's Milk and Milk Products Bid for the 2025-2026 procurement cycle. The certificate is a standard procurement document that requires both the vendor and the school food authority to certify the independence and integrity of the pricing process, ensuring that prices have been arrived at independently without consultation, communication, or agreement with competitors that might restrict competition.
The document demonstrates the vendor's commitment to fair bidding practices by affirming that pricing has been determined independently, will not be disclosed prematurely, and no attempts have been made to manipulate the bidding process. The certificate was signed on March 27, 2023, by Mr. Michael Morel, the Food Services Manager, and includes a declaration that to the best of their knowledge, the vendor and its affiliates are not currently under governmental investigation and have not been convicted of any prohibited acts related to public contract bidding in the past three years. The document serves as a crucial compliance mechanism to maintain transparency and fairness in the public procurement process.
