About this file
This is a Certification of Independent Price Determination document applicable to a School Nutrition Consumable Supplies contract for the Polk County Schools District in Bartow, Florida. The certification requires offerors to confirm that pricing has been developed independently without consultation, communication, or agreement with competitors regarding prices, submission intentions, or pricing methodologies. Offerors must also 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 induce or suppress competing offers.
The document establishes signature requirements whereby authorized signatories must certify their role in price determination and confirm compliance with the anti-collusion provisions outlined above. Signatories may act as authorized agents for specified principals, provided written authorization is documented. If an offeror modifies the non-disclosure requirements of the certification, the offeror must submit a signed statement detailing the circumstances of any price disclosure. This certification serves as a binding attestation of competitive integrity in the bidding process for the school nutrition supplies contract.
