This is a Forced Labor Compliance Attachment document applicable to contract opportunities with state and local government agencies. The document establishes mandatory compliance requirements and certifications related to forced labor prohibitions that bidders and contractors must acknowledge and adhere to throughout the contract performance period. The attachment requires all parties to certify that they do not engage in forced labor practices, including human trafficking, involuntary servitude, debt bondage, or other forms of labor coercion, and mandates compliance with applicable federal and state laws governing labor practices and human trafficking prevention.

The document imposes ongoing compliance obligations on contractors, requiring them to implement monitoring and control measures to ensure their supply chains and operations remain free from forced labor violations. Contractors must agree to permit audits and inspections to verify compliance and maintain documentation demonstrating adherence to forced labor prohibitions. The attachment specifies that any violation of forced labor provisions constitutes a material breach of the contract and may result in contract termination, debarment from future government contracting, and referral to appropriate legal authorities. This compliance requirement applies to all subcontractors and suppliers involved in contract performance, extending responsibility throughout the entire contracting ecosystem.
