Attachment B_PUR 2024 Use of Coercion Form.pdf

This is a Use of Coercion for Labor or Services declaration form required by the Florida Department of Citrus for contract execution, renewal, or extension pursuant to Florida Statutes section 787.06(14). The form requires a nongovernmental entity to certify under penalties of perjury that it does not use coercion for labor or services as defined in state law. The document requires completion by an officer or representative of the contracting entity, including the entity name, representative's printed name and title, signature, and date of execution.

The form contains blank fields for the entity to provide required identification and attestation information, with no specific pricing, schedule, or performance metrics detailed within the document itself. This certification represents a prerequisite compliance requirement for companies bidding on the Florida Department of Citrus's Japanese Marketing and Trade Representative contract opportunity, which seeks management of trade representation and promotional programs for Florida Grapefruit in Japan.
