ATTACHMENT_X_FORCED_LABOR_OF_ETHNIC_UYGHURS.pdf

This document is an Attachment X for a Forced Labor of Ethnic Uyghurs Ban, issued by the Arizona Department of Education for Solicitation No. BPM007007 in Government Relation Services. The document involves the State of Arizona and specifically requires companies participating in state contracts to certify they do not use forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs from the People's Republic of China, with specific provisions for different types of business entities including sole proprietorships, partnerships, corporations, and non-profit organizations.

The document requires offerors to select an exemption status and affirm they will not use forced labor or goods/services produced by forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs during the contract term. In this specific case, The Strongm Group, LLC, located in Paradise Valley, Arizona, has been identified as an exempt contractor, specifically noting they have fewer than ten employees and are a non-profit organization. The document is part of a compliance mechanism under A.R.S. § 35-394, which prohibits public entities from entering contracts with companies that cannot certify the absence of forced labor from the specified region.
