This is a Conflict of Interest Affidavit form required by the Maryland State Department of Education, Division of Rehabilitation Services (MSDE, DORS) for a home accessibility modification procurement designated as a Certified Small Business (CSB) set-aside. The affidavit, effective July 2024, requires all offerors, contractors, consultants, subcontractors, and their employees or agents with authority over contract work to disclose any actual or potential conflicts of interest that could impair their objectivity or provide unfair competitive advantage in performing home accessibility modifications and residential construction services for a DORS client (CS #26-18). Offerors must warrant that no relevant facts or circumstances exist that would create a conflict of interest, except as explicitly disclosed in the affidavit document.
The affidavit mandates that offerors provide detailed explanations of any conflicts of interest in a designated section, with additional sheets attached if necessary. Offerors are further obligated to immediately disclose in writing to the procurement officer any actual or potential conflicts that arise after the affidavit date, including a description of actions taken or proposed to mitigate or neutralize the conflict. The document must be submitted with the bid or proposal and is executed under penalties of perjury by an authorized representative. If a contract has been awarded and performance has begun, the contractor must continue performance until receiving contrary direction from the procurement officer regarding any disclosed conflict.
