FORM 10 - pur 2024 use of coercion forced labor combined final.docx

This is a compliance certification form (Form 10) issued by the Florida Department of Corrections in connection with an Invitation to Negotiate (ITN) for the operation and management of the Blackwater River Correctional Facility. The form consists of two parts that must be completed by vendors submitting responses to the solicitation. Part A requires an officer or representative of the nongovernmental entity to certify under penalties of perjury that the entity does not use coercion for labor or services as defined in Florida Statutes section 787.06(13). Part B requires a member of the company's senior management to certify that any commodities being offered to the Department have not been produced, in whole or in part, by forced labor, as required under Florida Statutes section 287.1346(4)(b). Responses must be submitted through the MyFloridaMarketPlace Sourcing Event via the SAP Business Network, with inquiries directed to Sharita Newman, Procurement Officer, at Purchasing@FDC.MyFlorida.com.

The form itself does not contain pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractor details, funding amounts, or contract term specifications. These details would be contained in the primary ITN solicitation documents. The form serves exclusively as a mandatory attestation requirement for vendor eligibility and compliance with Florida state labor and forced labor prohibitions prior to contract execution or renewal.
