About this file
This is a Certification Regarding Lobbying form required by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for federal contracts, grants, and cooperative agreements. The document pertains to Hillsborough County Public Schools' Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP), a federally funded initiative that provides free fresh fruits and vegetables to students at participating elementary schools twice weekly outside of meal service times. The certification must be signed by authorized officials, including the Executive Director and Chief Financial Officer, and serves as a prerequisite for entering into the federal transaction. The form requires inclusion of identical certification language in all sub-awards and sub-tier agreements.
The certification mandates that no federal appropriated funds have been or will be paid to influence federal officers, members of Congress, or congressional employees in connection with the contract award. If non-federal funds are used for lobbying purposes, the submitting organization must complete and submit Standard Form-LLL, Disclosure Form to Report Lobbying. Failure to file the required certification subjects violators to civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each failure. All sub-recipients under the grant must similarly certify and disclose any lobbying activities in accordance with Section 1352 of Title 31, United States Code.
