About this file
This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit form required by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) for the Hillsborough County Public Schools Fresh Fruit and Vegetable Program (FFVP) in Florida. The affidavit must be completed and sworn by a vendor representative, owner, partner, officer, or authorized agent submitting a proposal for the delivery of fresh, high-quality, specialty fruits and vegetables to select elementary school sites. The FFVP is a federally funded grant program that provides free fresh fruits and vegetables to students at participating elementary schools twice weekly outside of meal service, with the primary objectives of serving raw fresh produce without additives or dips, introducing students to unfamiliar fruits and vegetables, and promoting consumption of healthy snack options. The vendor must affirm under oath that the attached proposal is genuine and not collusive or sham in nature, and that neither the vendor nor any of its officers, partners, owners, agents, representatives, or employees have engaged in any collusion, conspiracy, or unlawful agreement with other vendors regarding pricing, overhead, profit margins, or other contract terms.
The affidavit requires the vendor to certify that the quoted prices are fair, proper, and untainted by collusion, conspiracy, connivance, or unlawful agreement. The vendor must provide the affidavit subscribed and sworn before a notary public, with blanks for the notary to record the date the affidavit was executed and the expiration date of the notary's commission. This document serves as a compliance requirement to ensure competitive bidding integrity and prevent anticompetitive conduct in the procurement process for the cost-plus fixed fee per case contract.
