Attachment J Non-Debarment Acknowledgement.pdf

This is a Non-Debarment Acknowledgement form required by Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) in Maryland for the Lease of MCPS Holding Facilities solicitation. The form serves as a certification by the duly authorized representative of the offeror regarding the bidding company's legal standing and eligibility to conduct business with MCPS. Offerors must acknowledge one of three statements: that the firm has no pending litigation or debarment from the State of Maryland, its subordinate government units, or the federal government within the past five years; that the firm has pending litigation or has been debarred and must provide detailed documentation; or that none of the company's officers, directors, partners, or employees have been convicted of bribery or related offenses, and that no Board of Education members or MCPS personnel have any undisclosed interest in the bidding company. The signatory must certify the accuracy of the provided information and commit to notifying MCPS of any changes in status.

The form requires no pricing information, funding requirements, or contract-specific terms, as it functions solely as a pre-qualification and compliance document. Bidders must complete and submit the acknowledgement as part of their proposal package for either the Grosvenor Center or Radnor Center lease opportunity in Bethesda, Maryland. Failure to accurately complete this attestation or disclosure of debarment, pending litigation, or conflicts of interest may result in proposal disqualification or contract termination.
