About this file
This is a Domestic Workforce Utilization Certification form required by the Pennsylvania Public Utility Commission (PUC) for the Electric Resource Adequacy Consultant contract opportunity. The certification establishes scoring criteria that prioritize offerors' commitment to performing direct labor within the United States or within countries that are parties to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement, including nations such as Canada, the United Kingdom, Japan, and numerous European Union member states. Offerors must complete and sign this certification to receive any consideration under this evaluation criterion, and the certification becomes a contractual obligation upon execution of the contract.
Offerors must select one of two options: certifying that all direct labor will be performed exclusively within the United States or approved WTO-GPA countries, or specifying the percentage of direct labor to be performed in such locations and identifying the countries where any remaining direct labor will be performed. The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania treats any misstatement in this certification as fraudulent concealment punishable under Section 4904 of the Pennsylvania Crimes Code. The certification requires signature and attestation from authorized representatives of the contracting entity and serves as a binding contractual obligation for the duration of the awarded contract.

APPENDIX B
DOMESTIC WORKFORCE UTILIZATION CERTIFICATION
To the extent permitted by the laws and treaties of the United States, each proposal will be scored for its commitment to use the domestic workforce in the fulfillment of the contract. Maximum consideration will be given to those offerors who will perform the contracted direct labor exclusively within the geographical boundaries of the United States or within the geographical boundaries of a country that is a party to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement. Those who propose to perform a portion of the direct labor outside of the United States and not within the geographical boundaries of a party to the World Trade Organization Government Procurement Agreement will receive a correspondingly smaller score for this criterion. In order to be eligible for any consideration for this criterion, offerors must complete and sign the following certification. This certification will be included as a contractual obligation when the contract is executed. Failure to complete and sign this certification will result in no consideration being given to the offeror for this criterion.
