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

This is an Annual Affidavit form required by the Commonwealth of Kentucky for bidders, offerors, and contractors seeking to be awarded or renew state contracts under Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 45A.110 and 45A.115. The affidavit is effective for one year from the date of execution and must be completed by an authorized representative of the contracting party, notarized, and submitted to the Commonwealth prior to contract award or renewal. There are no specific products, services, project timelines, quantities, response dates, site visits, or bidder conferences associated with this document, as it serves as a blanket compliance requirement applicable across all state procurement activities.

The affidavit requires the authorized representative to attest under penalty of perjury that the contractor has not knowingly violated Kentucky campaign finance laws and that the contract award will not violate any provision of such laws. "Knowingly" is defined as awareness or should-have-been awareness of a violation's existence. The Commonwealth reserves the right to request updated affidavits at any time during the contract period. No pricing terms, set-asides, funding sources, or other procurement-specific details are addressed in this document, as it functions solely as a compliance certification mechanism applicable to all state and local contract opportunities.
