Kenneth Van Leer Request for Clarification-Response Att 8.pdf

This document is an "Attachment 8 - Forced Labor of Ethnic Uyghurs Ban" form related to a solicitation (Solicitation No.: BPM006108) for Vending Equipment and Related Services. The document is issued by the U.S. Department of Economic Security and requires written certification from contractors regarding their compliance with Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S.) § 35-394, which pertains to prohibitions on using forced labor from ethnic Uyghurs in the People's Republic of China.

The form requires contractors to certify that they do not use, and agree not to use during the term of the contract, any goods or services produced by forced labor of ethnic Uyghurs in China. In this specific case, the contractor Vendtronics has selected the option indicating they do not use such labor, and they qualify as an exempt contractor due to having fewer than ten employees. The document is signed by Kenneth E Van Leer Jr., the owner, and includes contact information for the company located in Phoenix, Arizona.
