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

Attachment L is a certification form from the Florida Department of Management Services (DMS) for the 2023 Provision of Commodities Produced by Forced Labor, which is part of the Mail Services V2 solicitation (RFP No. 24-80141800-RFP-1). The document is a mandatory certification that must be completed by a senior management member when submitting a response to a solicitation or entering/renewing a contract for commodity provision. The form requires the entity to certify that, to the best of their knowledge, the commodities offered have not been produced, in whole or in part, by forced labor.

The certification form is structured with blank fields for the entity name, senior management's printed name, senior management member's title, signature, and date. It is linked to section 287.1346(4)(b) of Florida Statutes and must be executed by a senior management member as defined in section 287.1346, F.S. This document serves as a critical compliance mechanism to ensure that vendors participating in state contracts affirm their commitment to avoiding commodities produced through forced labor, aligning with broader ethical procurement practices in Florida's state contracting process.
