About this file
This is a Conflict of Interest Affidavit form effective July 2024, required for submission with bids or proposals to the Maryland Department of Human Services, Social Services Administration (SSA) for Residential Child Care Services contracts. The affidavit requires offerors, contractors, consultants, and subcontractors at any tier to certify that no conflicts of interest exist that would impair their ability to render impartial assistance or advice to the State or compromise objectivity in performing contract work. The form defines "conflict of interest" as circumstances arising from other activities or relationships that could prevent impartial performance or create unfair competitive advantages. Offerors must disclose all relevant facts and circumstances that give rise to or could potentially give rise to conflicts of interest, with detailed explanations and supporting documentation as necessary.
The affidavit imposes an ongoing obligation on offerors and contractors to immediately notify the procurement officer in writing if an actual or potential conflict of interest arises after the affidavit is executed. Any such disclosure must include a comprehensive description of actions taken and proposed to mitigate, avoid, or neutralize the conflict. If a contract has already been awarded and performance has commenced, the contractor must continue performance until receiving contrary direction from the procurement officer. The affidavit must be executed under oath with penalties of perjury and signed by an authorized representative and affiant, then submitted with the bid or proposal.
