EXHIBIT 13 - CERTIFICATION OF PROSPECTIVE CONTRACTOR.pdf

This is a Certification of Prospective Contractor form used by state and local government agencies to verify contractor eligibility and compliance prior to award. The document serves as a declaration wherein prospective contractors certify their legal status, business qualifications, and adherence to applicable regulations and requirements. The form does not specify particular products or services, project quantities, response deadlines, or contract terms, as it functions as a standardized certification instrument applicable across multiple procurement opportunities. Rather than establishing specific contractual parameters, this document establishes the baseline certifications and representations that contractors must make to demonstrate their capability and legal standing to perform government contract work.

The certification form requires contractors to affirm various statutory and regulatory compliance matters, including but not limited to proper business registration, absence of debarment or suspension, and adherence to prevailing wage requirements where applicable. Contractors must certify that they meet all applicable federal, state, and local requirements for contract performance. The form does not address pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractor considerations, or funding sources, as these elements are determined within individual solicitation documents. This form serves as a prerequisite document that prospective contractors complete and submit as part of the overall proposal or bid package to establish their basic qualifications and legal eligibility for contract award consideration.
