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

This document is a Florida state-required certification form (Attachment I, PUR 2023) related to the Provision of Commodities Produced by Forced Labor, as mandated by section 287.1346(4)(b) of Florida Statutes. The form is designed to be completed by a senior management member of a company when submitting a response to a solicitation or entering/renewing a contract for commodity provision. The certification requires the senior management representative to attest that, to the best of their knowledge, the commodities being offered to the Department have not been produced, either wholly or partially, through forced labor.

The form is a standardized template with blank fields for the entity name, senior management's printed name, title, signature, and date. It serves as a legal declaration and compliance document ensuring that vendors are certifying the ethical sourcing of their commodities, specifically addressing concerns about forced labor in supply chains. The form is part of Florida's regulatory framework to promote responsible procurement practices and prevent the potential engagement with suppliers who may use unethical labor practices.
