About this file

This is a Domestic Workforce Utilization Certification document issued by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania for use in evaluating multiple award contracts. The certification is designed to assess bidders' commitment to employing domestic workers and will be used as an evaluation criterion in best value selections for individual assignments under the contract. The document applies to the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation Engineering District 5-0's contract to rent a Dry Ice Blaster machine (Nu Ice Age Commando 55) with after cooler and dryer unit and specified accessories. Contractors must complete and sign the certification to receive consideration under this evaluation criterion, and the signed certification becomes a contractual obligation upon contract execution.

The certification requires contractors to declare the percentage of direct labor that will be performed within the United States or within countries that are parties to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement, which includes 41 specified nations. Contractors performing all direct labor domestically or within WTO GPA countries receive maximum consideration, while those performing any portion of direct labor outside the United States and outside WTO GPA countries receive correspondingly reduced scores. Contractors must identify any work performed outside these approved geographical boundaries and specify the country where such work will occur. Failure to complete and sign the certification results in no consideration for this evaluation criterion. The Commonwealth treats any misstatement in the certification as fraudulent concealment punishable under Pennsylvania Crimes Code Section 4904.

DOMESTIC WORKFORCE UTILIZATION CERTIFICATION FOR MULTIPLE AWARD CONTRACTS

To the extent permitted by the laws and treaties of the United States, this certification will be used by the Agency in making a best value selection for each particular assignment. Each quote will be evaluated for its commitment to use the domestic workforce in the fulfillment of the contract. Maximum consideration will be given to those suppliers who will perform the contracted direct labor exclusively within the geographical boundaries of the United States or within the geographical boundaries of a country that is a party to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement. Those who propose to perform a portion of the direct labor outside of the United States and not within the geographical boundaries of a party to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement will receive a correspondingly smaller score for this criterion. In order to be eligible for any consideration for this criterion, suppliers must complete and sign the following certification. This certification will be included as a contractual obligation when the contract is executed. Failure to complete and sign this certification will result in no consideration being given to the supplier for this criterion.
