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

Attachment N is a certification form required by the Florida Department of Management Services for vendors responding to the Motor Vehicles Invitation to Bid (ITB). The form must be completed by a member of the company's senior management, as defined under Florida Statutes section 287.1346, prior to submission of a bid response or contract execution. Senior management is defined to include chief executive officers, assistant chief executive officers, vice presidents, chief financial officers, chief personnel officers, or employees performing similar functions. The vendor certifies that, to the best of their knowledge, the commodities being offered have not been produced, in whole or in part, by forced labor, in compliance with section 287.1346(4)(b), Florida Statutes.

The form requires completion of entity name, senior management member's printed name, title, signature, and date. This certification is a mandatory provision for all commodity supply contracts with the State of Florida and serves as a compliance mechanism to ensure that state procurements do not support or benefit from forced labor practices in the supply chain.
