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 the Invitation to Bid (IFB) 1PA6V92126 for a CZU Flashover Simulator to be delivered to CAL FIRE's CZU personnel in Felton, California. The certification form requires all bidders and proposers to declare their compliance status regarding business activities or operations outside the United States conducted within the previous three years. Bidders must complete the company and vendor information section and select one of three certification options indicating either no international business activities, receipt of written permission from the Department of General Services as a scrutinized company, or certification that despite international operations, the company does not qualify as a scrutinized company under Public Contract Code Section 10476.

The form establishes eligibility requirements under the Darfur Contracting Act (Public Contract Code Sections 10475-10481) and requires authorized company representatives to initial their selected option and, in the case of Option 3, provide a sworn certification under penalty of perjury. A scrutinized company is defined as a company in Sudan engaged in power production, mineral extraction, oil-related activities, or military equipment production, with specified exclusions for companies meeting criteria such as conducting operations under contract with the regional government of southern Sudan, holding appropriate federal licenses, or providing goods and services to marginalized populations, peacekeeping forces, humanitarian organizations, or health and education initiatives.
