About this file
This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit required by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in connection with Hillsborough County Public Schools (HCPS) Student Nutrition Services' procurement for kitchen hood cleaning services. The affidavit mandates that vendors certify the genuineness of their proposals and confirm that neither they nor their officers, partners, owners, agents, representatives, or employees have engaged in collusion, conspiracy, or unlawful agreements with other vendors regarding proposal pricing, overhead, profit margins, or any other contract terms. Vendors must affirm that quoted prices are fair, proper, and untainted by any collusive practices, and that no communications or agreements have occurred to fix prices, secure unfair advantages, or coordinate bidding activities among competing firms.
The affidavit requires execution by an authorized vendor representative before a notary public, with the document to be submitted as part of the proposal package. This certification is a mandatory compliance requirement for all bidders participating in the ITB #25406 solicitation for semi-annual exhaust hood cleaning services across approximately 218 HCPS school sites in the Tampa Bay area, with proposals due by August 27, 2025. The affidavit serves as a federal procurement safeguard to ensure competitive integrity and compliance with USDA-funded contract requirements, supporting the $150,000 annual financial assistance award designated for this kitchen hood cleaning initiative.
