This is a Lobbying Certification document from the Texas Department of Agriculture for the TAFA Financial Audit contract opportunity. The certification establishes compliance requirements for federal contracting regulations, specifically addressing the prohibition on using federal appropriated funds to influence members of Congress or federal agency employees in connection with contract awards, grants, loans, or cooperative agreements. The document requires the undersigned authorized signatory and the Chief Financial Officer or Designee to certify that no federal funds have been or will be used for lobbying purposes related to the transaction.
The certification mandates that all sub-recipients, sub-awards, sub-contracts, and sub-grants at all tiers must include identical certification language and comply with disclosure requirements.

The certification is a material representation of fact required by Section 1352, Title 31, U.S. Code, and serves as a prerequisite for executing the transaction.
