Annual Affidavit for Bidders, Offerors and Contractors - Jan 2023 - Copy.docx

This is a Required Affidavit form for Bidders, Offerors, and Contractors issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky pursuant to KRS 45A.110 and 45A.115. The affidavit applies to all bidders, offerors, and contractors seeking to be awarded a contract or renew an existing contract with the Commonwealth of Kentucky. An authorized representative of the contracting party must complete the attestation, obtain notarization, and submit the completed affidavit to the Commonwealth. The affidavit is effective for one year from the date of execution. No specific response dates, due dates, site visits, bidders' meetings, award dates, or contract terms are specified in this document, as it is a procedural compliance form rather than a solicitation.

The affidavit requires the authorized representative to swear under penalty of perjury that the contractor has not knowingly violated Kentucky campaign finance laws and that awarding a contract will not violate any provision of the state's campaign finance laws. For purposes of this attestation, "knowingly" is defined as awareness or reasonable awareness of a violation's existence. The Commonwealth retains the right to request an updated affidavit at any time. The form requires the contractor's name, address, vendor code if known, the authorized representative's signature, printed name, and title, along with notarization including the notary's signature, commission expiration date, and the state and county where notarization occurred.
