Attachment L, PUR 1355 Foreign Country of Concern Attestation.pdf

This is a Foreign Country of Concern Attestation form (PUR 1355) required by the Florida Department of Management Services for the Natural Gas Supply ITB V2 procurement. The attestation must be completed by an officer or representative of any entity submitting a bid, proposal, or response to a contract that would grant access to Personal Identifying Information. The form certifies that the entity is not owned by the government of a Foreign Country of Concern, is not organized under the laws of a Foreign Country of Concern, does not have its Principal Place of Business in a Foreign Country of Concern, and that no Foreign Country of Concern government holds a Controlling Interest in the entity. The signatory declares under penalties of perjury that the statement is true and complete, with fields for printed name, title, signature, and date.

This mandatory certification is governed by Rule 60A-1.020, Florida Administrative Code, and represents a compliance requirement for all bidders participating in the Natural Gas Supply ITB V2 procurement. The attestation is one of multiple required certifications that bidders must submit alongside their bids, which are due electronically through MyFloridaMarketPlace by February 10, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. The inclusion of this foreign ownership attestation reflects Florida's procurement standards to ensure that entities providing services and accessing sensitive information meet specified ownership and operational requirements.
