About this file
This document is a Federal Required Certification form for lobbying disclosure related to federal contracts, grants, loans, and cooperative agreements. The certification requires contractors to attest that they have not used federal appropriated funds to influence government officials or members of Congress in connection with obtaining federal contracts, grants, or agreements. Contractors must also disclose if non-federal funds have been used for lobbying purposes and agree to include similar language in all subawards and subcontracts.
The document outlines significant legal and financial consequences for non-compliance, including potential civil penalties ranging from $10,000 to $100,000 for each failure to file the required certification. The contractor must certify the truthfulness of their statements and acknowledges that false claims may be subject to administrative remedies under 31 U.S.C. Chapter 38. The form provides space for an authorized official's signature, title, and date to formally attest to the certification's contents.
