APPENDIX F-CERT OF AUTHORIZATION TO BIND CORPORATION FAR 4.pdf

This is a Certificate of Authorization to Bind Corporation template required under Federal Acquisition Regulation (FAR) 4.102(c). The certificate serves as a formal attestation that a corporate officer, other than the one who signed the bid, verifies the authority and validity of the bid submission on behalf of a corporation. The certifying officer must confirm that the individual who signed the bid held the stated corporate position at the time of signing and that the bid was executed with proper authorization from the corporation's governing body and falls within the corporation's corporate powers. The certificate must be executed under the corporation's corporate seal and submitted with the bid. The form contains blank spaces for the certifying officer's name and title, the bid signer's name and title, the execution date, and a designated area for the corporate seal impression. This dual-signature requirement—prohibiting the same officer from executing both the bid and this certificate—ensures internal verification and corporate accountability in federal contracting.
