Disclosure of Abortion Related Matters Acknowledgement.docx

This file is a disclosure acknowledgement form required by the State of Idaho pursuant to Idaho Code Title 18, Chapter 87, the "No Public Funds for Abortion Act." The document applies to all offerors responding to state solicitations, including the enclosed trailers procurement opportunity. Offerors are required to disclose whether they or their affiliates are abortion providers and whether they will use state facilities or public funds to provide, perform, participate in, promote, induce, assist, counsel in favor of, refer for, or train persons for abortion-related activities, unless the offeror qualifies for an exemption under the Act. The acknowledgement form must be signed by an authorized representative and submitted with the quote or proposal by the applicable deadline.

The disclosure requirement is a mandatory compliance measure designed to ensure adherence to Idaho's restrictions on state funding for abortion-related activities. State employees who intentionally violate the Act's provisions are subject to criminal prosecution. All prospective vendors must complete and return the signed acknowledgement form as a condition of proposal submission; failure to do so may result in proposal rejection or disqualification from award consideration.
