8-HCJPD Conflict of Interest Certification.pdf

This is a Conflict of Interest Certification form for the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department related to a Request for Proposal for Food Services beginning on or about May 1, 2026, and continuing for one year thereafter. The certification document serves as an attestation that bidders and their representatives have disclosed any potential conflicts of interest that may arise from their participation in this procurement. The form requires vendors to certify compliance with conflict of interest regulations and to identify any relationships, financial interests, or other circumstances that could create conflicts or the appearance of impropriety in connection with the food services contract.

The certification is a mandatory prerequisite for bid submission and requires authorized representatives of bidding organizations to attest to the truthfulness and accuracy of all disclosures. Vendors must identify any conflicts involving Harris County Juvenile Probation Department employees, board members, or other county officials, as well as any familial or financial relationships that could influence their ability to perform the contract impartially. Failure to complete and submit this certification with the proposal may result in bid rejection or disqualification from the procurement process.
