Submittal Section Litigation 1.5.1 – Broward Sheriff's Office RFP

This is a litigation disclosure form required by the Broward Sheriff's Office (BSO) in Florida for proposers responding to the Online Web-Based Promotional Products Ordering System RFP. Proposers must complete this form if they answered affirmatively to question 1.5.1 on the Submittal Section Questionnaire and submit it through the Bonfire portal by the stated deadline. The form requires detailed disclosure of all current litigation, judgments, settlements, and court cases related to providing services as outlined in the solicitation, as well as any such actions occurring within the preceding three years for the proposer and its principals. Bankruptcy cases or petitions must be disclosed for the past seven years. The disclosure covers lawsuits, criminal cases, bankruptcies, assignments to creditors, administrative actions, and arbitrations, and must include the case description, court or agency name, case or file number, and status or disposition. Proposers must also disclose whether they or their principals have been debarred or suspended from doing business with any government agency or professional board.

Proposers have an ongoing obligation to update this disclosure form throughout the solicitation process and until contract execution if awarded. Any litigation initiated or reopened during the solicitation process must be reported immediately to the designated BSO Purchasing Agent. Failure to maintain an updated case list may result in automatic disqualification of the proposer or termination of the award if already granted. For joint ventures or team proposers, the requested information must be submitted for each member. "Principals" include corporate officers and controlling shareholders, managing members and general partners in partnerships, and parent or subsidiary entities, defined as those holding more than 50 percent ownership interest directly or indirectly.
