Exhibit J - Clean Air and Water Certificate

This exhibit is a Clean Air and Water Certificate requirement for the Colorado Department of Education and Early Childhood's RFP for National School Lunch Program (NSLP) Fruit, Vegetable and Miscellaneous Products. The certificate serves as a compliance document that bidders must complete and submit as part of their proposal response. The requirement mandates that suppliers certify their compliance with applicable federal clean air and water standards, demonstrating their adherence to environmental regulations as a condition of contract award and performance.

The Clean Air and Water Certificate is a mandatory compliance documentation requirement with no reported pricing terms, set-asides, or special funding provisions noted in this exhibit. Bidders must acknowledge their understanding and compliance with federal environmental statutes and regulations, including the Clean Air Act and Clean Water Act, as applicable to their operations and the delivery of products or services under the contract. Failure to provide proper certification or non-compliance with these environmental standards may result in proposal disqualification or contract termination.
