Attachment_X___Forced_Labor_of_Ethnic_Uyghurs_Ban.pdf

This is a compliance attachment document related to a forced labor ban requirement for the State of Arizona's Off-Duty School Resource and School Safety Officers procurement. The document establishes mandatory compliance provisions requiring all respondents and their supply chains to certify that they do not use forced labor, including specifically addressing concerns regarding the forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs. Prospective vendors must acknowledge and agree to these compliance requirements as a condition of contract award. The attachment serves as a binding certification that vendors will not utilize forced labor in the manufacturing, production, or delivery of goods and services associated with this school safety contract. All proposers are required to complete and submit this attachment with their bids by the July 11, 2025 response deadline.

The forced labor compliance requirement is a non-negotiable standard for contract eligibility and represents a significant corporate social responsibility and ethical business practice mandate. Vendors unable to certify compliance with these provisions will be deemed non-responsive and their proposals rejected. This attachment reflects Arizona's commitment to ethical procurement practices and alignment with federal and state standards prohibiting forced labor in government contracting. No exceptions or waivers to these compliance requirements are anticipated, and all bidders regardless of size, incumbency status, or set-aside designation must meet this mandatory certification threshold.
