About this file
This is a Conflict of Interest Affidavit document required for the Online Education Program contract opportunity with the Maryland State Department of Education (MSDE) and the Maryland Department of Juvenile Services (DJS). The affidavit, effective July 2024, requires offerors, contractors, consultants, subcontractors, and their employees or agents with authority over contract work to disclose any facts or circumstances that could give rise to conflicts of interest. A conflict of interest is defined as any situation where an individual's other activities or relationships impair their ability to render impartial assistance to the State, compromise objectivity in performing contract work, or provide an unfair competitive advantage. Offerors must warrant that no relevant facts or circumstances creating such conflicts exist, except as disclosed in the affidavit, and must attach additional documentation as needed to explain any potential conflicts.
The affidavit requires offerors to immediately disclose in writing to the procurement officer any actual or potential conflicts of interest that arise after the affidavit's date, including a description of actions taken or proposed to mitigate or neutralize such conflicts. Contractors must continue performance until receiving contrary direction from the procurement officer. The document must be signed under penalty of perjury by an authorized representative and submitted with the bid or proposal. This affidavit is mandatory for all entities seeking to provide digital curriculum and state-certified virtual teachers for the online education program serving approximately 200 students across DJS facilities.
