About this file
This is a Darfur Contracting Act Vendor Certification form issued by the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection (CAL FIRE) for use in connection with state contract bidding. The form is required for any bidder or proposer that has had business activities or operations outside the United States within the previous three years. Bidders must complete company and vendor information and certify their status under one of three options: (1) that they have no international business operations, (2) that they are a scrutinized company but have received written permission from the Department of General Services to submit a bid, or (3) that they have international operations but are not a scrutinized company as defined by Public Contract Code Section 10476. The certification must be signed by an authorized person, with signature requirements varying by option selected.
A "scrutinized company" is defined as a company operating in Sudan that is involved in power production, mineral extraction, oil-related activities, or military equipment production. However, exceptions apply for companies conducting business exclusively with southern Sudan's regional government, operating under federal license or exemption, providing goods or services to marginalized populations or peacekeeping and humanitarian organizations, providing health or education services, voluntarily suspending operations with the Government of Sudan for the contract duration, or implementing a formal plan to cease operations within one year. This certification is mandatory for bid eligibility and is executed under penalty of perjury in accordance with California law.
