Attachment H - PUR 2023 - Provision of Commodities Produced by Forced Labor.pdf

Attachment H is a certification form from the Florida Department of Management Services requiring senior management to certify that commodities offered in a solicitation have not been produced by forced labor. The form is part of the Productivity Tools (RFP No. 25-43231513-RFP) procurement, which mandates that a senior management representative complete this written certification when submitting a response to the solicitation or before entering into a contract for commodity provision. The certification is specifically required under section 287.1346(4)(b) of Florida Statutes and must be signed by a senior management member as defined in section 287.1346, F.S.

The document provides a standardized template for vendors to affirm their commitment to ethical sourcing practices, specifically addressing the prohibition of forced labor in the production of commodities. By requiring this certification, the State of Florida aims to ensure that vendors participating in state contracts adhere to labor standards that prevent the use of forced or exploitative labor practices. The form requires the entity name, senior management's printed name, title, signature, and date, creating a legally binding declaration of the vendor's labor sourcing practices.
