About this file
This document is a statutory certification requirement for state and local contracts issued by the State of Missouri under Section 34.600, RSMo. The Anti-Discrimination Against Israel Act Certification establishes mandatory compliance standards for vendors entering into contracts with the state. The certification requirement applies to all contracts unless the total potential contract value is less than one hundred thousand dollars or the contractor has fewer than ten employees. Vendors must complete one of three certification boxes depending on their entity classification and employee count. Box A applies to non-company entities; Box B applies to company entities with fewer than ten employees; and Box C applies to company entities with ten or more employees. Vendors completing Box C must certify that they are not currently engaged in and will not engage in a boycott of goods or services from the State of Israel, companies doing business in or with Israel, or persons or entities doing business in the State of Israel for the duration of the contract.
The statute defines "company" broadly to include for-profit and not-for-profit organizations, associations, corporations, partnerships, joint ventures, and other business entities, including their wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, parent companies, and affiliates. "Boycott of Israel" is defined as engaging in refusals to deal, terminating business activities, or other discriminatory actions intended to support a boycott of the State of Israel or related entities. The statute considers a company's statement of participation in such boycotts as conclusive evidence of non-compliance, though companies may be found in violation based on other factors as well. Vendors whose business status changes during contract performance must notify the Division of Purchasing and complete the appropriate certification box accordingly.

EXHIBIT M
ANTI-DISCRIMINATION AGAINST ISRAEL ACT CERTIFICATION
Statutory Requirement: Section 34.600, RSMo, precludes entering into a contract with a company to acquire products and/or services “unless the contract includes a written certification that the company is not currently engaged in and shall not, for the duration of the contract, engage in a boycott of goods or services from the State of Israel; companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by, or organized under the laws of the State of Israel; or persons or entities doing business in the State of Israel.”
Exceptions: The statute provides two exceptions for this certification: 1) “contracts with a total potential value of less than one hundred thousand dollars” or 2) “contractors with fewer than ten employees.” Therefore the following certification is required prior to any contract award.
Section 34.600, RSMo, defines the following terms:
Company - any for-profit or not-for-profit organization, association, corporation, partnership, joint venture, limited partnership, limited liability partnership, limited liability company, or other entity or business association, including all wholly-owned subsidiaries, majority-owned subsidiaries, parent companies, or affiliates of those entities or business associations.
Boycott Israel and Boycott of the State of Israel - engaging in refusals to deal, terminating business activities, or other actions to discriminate against, inflict economic harm, or otherwise limit commercial relations specifically with the State of Israel; companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by, or organized under the laws of the State of Israel; or persons or entities doing business in the State of Israel, that are all intended to support a boycott of the State of Israel. A company’s statement that it is participating in boycotts of the State of Israel; companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by, or organized under the laws of the State of Israel; or persons or entities doing business in the State of Israel, or that it has taken the boycott action at the request, in compliance with, or in furtherance of calls for a boycott of the State of Israel; companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by, or organized under the laws of the State of Israel; or persons or entities doing business in the State of Israel shall be considered to be conclusive evidence that a company is participating in a boycott of the State of Israel; companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by, or organized under the laws of the State of Israel; or persons or entities doing business in the State of Israel; provided, however that a company that has made no such statement may still be considered to be participating in a boycott of the State of Israel; companies doing business in or with Israel or authorized by, licensed by, or organized under the laws of the State of Israel; or persons or entities doing business in the State of Israel if other factors warrant such a conclusion.
Certification: The vendor must therefore certify their current status by completing either Box A, Box B, or Box C on the next page of this Exhibit.
BOX A: To be completed by any vendor that does not meet the definition of “company” above, hereinafter referred to as “Non-Company.”
BOX B: To be completed by a vendor that meets the definition of “Company” but has less than ten employees.
BOX C: To be completed by a vendor that meets the definition of “Company” and has ten or more employees.
