Attachment L - PUR 1355 Foreign Country of Concern Attestation Form.pdf

This is a Foreign Country of Concern Attestation Form (PUR 1355) required by the Florida Department of Management Services for the Motor Vehicles Invitation to Bid (ITB No. 25-25100000-ITB). The form must be completed by an officer or representative of any entity submitting a bid, proposal, or reply to, or entering into, renewing, or extending a contract with a Governmental Entity that would grant access to an individual's Personal Identifying Information. The attestation requires the bidding entity to certify under penalties of perjury that it is not owned by the government of a Foreign Country of Concern, is not organized under the laws of nor has its Principal Place of Business in a Foreign Country of Concern, and that the government of a Foreign Country of Concern does not have a Controlling Interest in the entity. The form requires completion of entity name, printed name of the signatory officer or representative, title, signature, and date of execution.

The Foreign Country of Concern Attestation is one of several mandatory responsive certifications and compliance requirements that bidders must submit as part of their bid package for the statewide term contract for the supply of new and unused motor vehicles across seven categories. Capitalized terms and definitions referenced in the form are ascribed in Rule 60A-1.020, Florida Administrative Code, which governs vendor eligibility and procurement compliance standards. This certification requirement ensures that awarded contractors maintaining access to sensitive state information meet security and independence standards established by the State of Florida.
