About this file
This Certification of Independent Price Determination document is a required attestation form for vendors submitting bids on the Florida milk, dairy, and non-dairy products procurement opportunity. The certification requires offerors to confirm that all quoted prices have been developed independently without consultation, communication, or agreement with competitors regarding pricing, bid submission intentions, or pricing calculation methods. Offerors must further certify that prices will not be disclosed to competitors before bid opening or contract award unless required by law, and that no attempts have been made to encourage or discourage other firms from submitting bids. The form requires signature from either the individual responsible for price determination within the offeror's organization or an authorized agent acting on behalf of designated principals.
Each signatory on the offer is considered to be certifying their participation status and compliance with the independent price determination requirements. If an authorized agent signs the certification, they must identify the principals they represent and certify that those principals have not participated and will not participate in any actions violating the independent pricing provisions. Signatories must provide their printed name, signature, title, and date. Should an offeror need to disclose pricing information to competitors, they must delete or modify the applicable provision and submit a detailed signed statement explaining the circumstances of such disclosure with their offer.
