About this file

This is a Foreign Countries of Concern and Human Trafficking Affidavit required for bid submissions to the Central Florida Tourism Oversight District (CFTOD). The affidavit must be completed and submitted with all bid responses to the Procurement & Contracting Department in Orlando, Florida. The document applies to the contract opportunity for modeling of the EPCOT Energy Plant electrical system and establishes compliance requirements under Florida Statutes FS 287.138 and FS 787.06. Bidders must certify that their entity is not owned by or controlled by the government of a foreign country of concern (defined as China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, or Syria), is not organized under the laws of or principally located in such a country, and does not employ coercion for labor or services. The affidavit requires the entity name, bid or contract number, date, and the signature of an authorized officer or representative under penalty of perjury.

False statements on the affidavit may result in bid rejection, debarment from future contracts, or contract termination. The document provides detailed definitions of key terms including "foreign country of concern," "controlling interest" (defined as 25 percent or more of voting interests or profits), and "coercion" (which encompasses physical force, document confiscation, debt servitude, fraud, financial harm, and forced labor involving controlled substances). Respondents must attest that they meet none of the four specified criteria regarding foreign government ownership, control, organization, or use of coercion in labor practices.
