Cer�fied Firm Par�cipa�on

As noted in Governor Kitzhaber's Execu�ve Order 12-03, "Minority-owned and Woman-owned businesses con�nue to be a dynamic and fast-growing sector of the Oregon economy. Oregon is commited to crea�ng an environment that supports the ingenuity and industriousness of Oregon's Minority Business Enterprise [MBE] and Woman Business Enterprise [WBE]. Emerging Small Business [ESB] firms are also an important sector of the state's economy." In 2015, HB 3303 revised ORS 200.055 to also include a cer�fica�on for". . . business[es] that a service-disabled veteran owns".

According to ORS 200.090, Contrac�ng agencies must aggressively pursue a policy to provide opportuni�es to Cer�fied Firms. As such, Cer�fied Firms must have an equal opportunity to par�cipate in the performance of contracts financed with state funds. By submi�ng its offer, Proposer cer�fies that it has taken, and i� here are further opportuni�es, will take reasonable steps to ensure that Cer�fied Firms are provided an equal opportunity to compete for and par�cipate in the performance of any subcontracts resul�ng from this procurement. Proposer has not discriminated and will not discriminate against a sub-vendor in the awarding of a subcontract because the sub-vendor is a Cer�fied Firm.

Proposer further cer�fies and agrees that it has not discriminated and will not discriminate in its employment prac�ces with regard to ethnicity, creed, age, religious affilia�on, gender, disability, sexual orienta�on, or na�onal origin.
