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

This is a Required Affidavit form for Bidders, Offerors and Contractors issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statutes (KRS) 45A.110 and 45A.115. The affidavit must be completed and notarized by an authorized representative of any bidder, offeror, or contractor seeking to be awarded a contract or renew an existing contract with the Commonwealth. The attestation requires the authorized representative to swear under penalty of perjury that the contractor has not knowingly violated Kentucky's campaign finance laws and that the contract award will not violate any provision of those laws. The affidavit is effective for one year from the date of execution, and the Commonwealth retains the right to request an updated affidavit at any time during the contract term.

The form requires submission of basic contractor information including the bidder or offeror name, address, and Commonwealth of Kentucky vendor code if known. An authorized representative must sign the document in the presence of a notary public, who must also sign and provide their notarization information, including the date, state, county, and commission expiration date. The definition of "knowingly" for purposes of the attestation means the bidder or offeror is aware or should have been aware of the existence of a violation of Kentucky campaign finance laws.
