EXHIBIT 13 - CERTIFICATION OF PROSPECTIVE CONTRACTOR.pdf

This is a Certification of Prospective Contractor form used by state and local government agencies to collect certifications and declarations from contractors bidding on contract opportunities. The form serves as a standardized document for prospective contractors to affirm their eligibility, legal status, and compliance with various regulatory requirements before submitting bids. The certification addresses multiple regulatory frameworks and contractor qualifications but does not specify particular products, services, quantities, response dates, or contract terms within the form itself, as these details are contained in the associated solicitation documents.

The form requires contractors to certify compliance with state and federal regulations, including provisions related to business registration, tax obligations, debarment status, and participation in government programs. Contractors must declare their business structure, ownership information, and any relevant certifications or designations. The document functions as a prerequisite verification tool rather than containing specific pricing information, set-asides, funding amounts, or contract duration details. Contractors completing this certification affirm their understanding of contractual obligations and their capability to meet the requirements outlined in the primary solicitation documents.
