About this file

This is a Non-Collusion Affidavit form used by the USDA for the School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida, in connection with its Continuing Service Contracts for Architectural Design & Construction Management Services. The affidavit is a standard legal document required as part of the procurement process under the Consultants' Competitive Negotiation Act (CCNA), Section 287.055, Florida Statutes. This form must be executed by bidders or their authorized representatives to certify that they have not engaged in any collusive or anticompetitive practices in preparing their proposals or bids. The affidavit serves as a compliance mechanism to ensure fair competition and maintain the integrity of the selection process for architectural and construction management services that may be required on a continuous basis for projects in the coming years.

The Non-Collusion Affidavit typically requires the affiant to swear or affirm under penalty of perjury that neither the bidder nor any other party has engaged in price fixing, bid rigging, or any other form of collusion with competitors. The document functions as a binding legal declaration that becomes part of the procurement record and contract file. Submission of this affidavit is mandatory for all responding firms seeking consideration for the continuing service contracts, and false statements made in the affidavit may result in disqualification, contract termination, and potential legal consequences. This requirement aligns with federal procurement standards and Florida state law to protect public funds and ensure competitive integrity in the selection of professional services providers.
