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

This is a Required Affidavit for Bidders, Offerors, and Contractors issued by the Commonwealth of Kentucky pursuant to Kentucky Revised Statutes 45A.110 and 45A.115. The affidavit must be submitted by any bidder, offeror, or contractor seeking to be awarded a contract or to renew an existing contract with the Commonwealth of Kentucky. An authorized representative of the contracting party is required to complete the attestation, obtain notarization, and return the completed affidavit to the Commonwealth prior to contract award. The affidavit is effective for one year from the date of execution.

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 contract award will not violate any provision of those laws. "Knowingly" is defined as awareness or should-have-been awareness of a violation. The form requires the contractor's name, address, Commonwealth vendor code if known, the authorized representative's signature, printed name, title, and date of execution. Notarization must be completed by a notary public who provides their signature, the state and county where notarized, the date of notarization, and commission expiration date. The Commonwealth retains the right to request an updated affidavit at any time during the contract term.
