6-h. Vendor Conflict of Interest Disclosure.pdf

This document is a Vendor Conflict of Interest Disclosure Form from Rockford Public Schools (RPS), designed to ensure transparency and ethical conduct in vendor relationships. The form requires vendors to disclose any potential conflicts of interest with RPS employees, Board of Education members, or their family members. Vendors must certify that to their knowledge, they are not involved in any business ventures that could compromise the integrity of the procurement process, such as having financial interests in the vendor or attempting to improperly influence the bid award.

The form includes sections for vendor information (name, address, contact details, and federal employer identification number) and requires the vendor's authorized representative to either affirm no conflicts exist or provide detailed information about potential conflicts. If a conflict is identified, the vendor must list the names of RPS employees or Board members involved and describe the nature of the potential conflict. The document references the RPS Code of Ethics, which is available online and prohibits certain relationships between vendors and school district personnel to maintain fair and ethical business practices.
