This is a Human Trafficking Affidavit form required by Pinellas County, Florida for contractors bidding on an executive search services contract. The affidavit serves as a statutory compliance document pursuant to Florida Statutes Section 787.06(14), wherein the contractor's authorized representative attests under penalty of perjury that the contractor does not use coercion for labor or services. The form requires completion by an authorized company representative and must be notarized before a notary public. The affidavit includes fields for the contractor's name, the signatory's printed name and signature, the notary's information and commission expiration date, the Federal Work Authorization User Identification Number, and the specific Pinellas County contract name and number. The document establishes a mandatory compliance requirement for all bidders responding to Pinellas County's Request for Proposal for executive search services, which has a proposal submission deadline of April 14, 2026 at 3:00 PM via the OpenGov procurement portal.

The affidavit represents one of several mandatory compliance certifications required by Pinellas County as part of its procurement process, alongside Common Carrier Attestation, Foreign Country of Concern Affidavit, and proof of E-Verify compliance. Contractors must execute and submit this human trafficking attestation as a prerequisite to contract award for the 12-month initial term with two optional 12-month renewal periods. The notarization requirement ensures verification of the signatory's authority and identity, protecting both the County and the contractor by creating an official record of the compliance declaration. This form is a standard protective measure for government contracting in Florida and does not contain pricing information or budget allocation details.
