About this file

This is an Iran Free Procurement Certification Form established under Pennsylvania's Procurement Code Sections 3501-3506, applicable to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania and all entities contracting with state agencies. The form establishes eligibility requirements for vendors and financial institutions seeking contracts valued at $1,000,000 or more with Commonwealth entities. Vendors must either certify that they are not engaged in investment activities in Iran, as determined by the Pennsylvania Department of General Services (DGS), or demonstrate that they have obtained a written exemption from DGS on a case-by-case basis. The form provides two certification options: Option #1 allows vendors to certify their non-involvement in Iran investment activities and eligibility to contract under the Procurement Code; Option #2 permits vendors who have received a DGS exemption to proceed with contracting. Both options require completion by an authorized representative with signature, printed name, title, and date of execution.

Pennsylvania law imposes substantial penalties for false certifications, including civil penalties equal to the greater of $250,000 or twice the contract amount, contract termination, and three-year ineligibility to bid on Commonwealth contracts. This certification requirement applies to the Actuarial Services contract with the State Workers' Insurance Fund (SWIF) under the Department of Labor and Industry, which seeks qualified independent contractors to provide actuarial analysis, reserve evaluation, actuarial opinions, and related consulting services to support SWIF's financial reporting and workers' compensation insurance operations. All contractors must comply with applicable Actuarial Standards of Practice, statutory accounting principles, Pennsylvania workers' compensation laws, and federal and state regulatory requirements, including privacy and information security standards.
