Attachment A-Drug Free.docx

This is a Drug-Free Workplace Act affidavit document required by the South Carolina Commission for the Blind for state and local contract opportunities, specifically the Statewide Needs Assessment Plan. The affidavit certifies vendor compliance with the Drug-Free Workplace Act under Section 44-107-10 et seq. of the South Carolina Code of Laws. Vendors are required to complete and sign the affidavit, providing their name, address, phone, fax, FEIN/SSN, and signature. The completed document must be returned to the South Carolina Commission for the Blind Procurement Services at 1430 Confederate Ave, Columbia, SC 29201, either by phone at 803-898-8814 or email at procurement@sccb.sc.gov.

This affidavit requirement applies to any resultant contract valued at $50,000 or more. Failure to furnish the signed affidavit will result in delay of the contract award. The requirement reflects South Carolina's amendment to Title 44 of the State Code of Laws, establishing mandatory drug-free workplace policies. The South Carolina Commission for the Blind, which provides quality individualized vocational rehabilitation services, independent living services, and prevention-of-blindness services to blind and visually impaired consumers, enforces this compliance requirement as part of its procurement process.
