EXHIBIT 13 - CERTIFICATION OF PROSPECTIVE CONTRACTOR.pdf

This is a Certification of Prospective Contractor form utilized by state and local government agencies for contract procurement processes. The document serves as a formal declaration by prospective contractors regarding their eligibility, qualifications, and compliance status prior to contract award. The form requires contractors to certify various statutory and regulatory compliance requirements, including verification of business registration, tax compliance, and adherence to applicable state and local laws. Contractors must affirm that they are not debarred, suspended, or otherwise ineligible to conduct business with government entities, and that they possess the necessary licenses and certifications required to perform the contracted services or deliver products as specified in the solicitation.

The certification document establishes the contractor's legal standing and good faith representation regarding their business operations and regulatory compliance. Contractors are typically required to certify ownership structure, absence of conflicts of interest, and compliance with prevailing wage requirements where applicable. The form functions as a prerequisite to contract execution and award, requiring authorized representatives to sign and attest to the accuracy of all stated information. Failure to provide accurate certifications may result in contract termination, disqualification from future bidding, or other remedial actions as permitted under applicable procurement regulations.
