Purchasing Affidavit.pdf

This document is a Purchasing Affidavit for construction and other contracts under West Virginia state law, specifically governed by the Office of State Auditor (OSA). The affidavit outlines legal restrictions on awarding contracts to vendors who have outstanding debts, tax obligations, or are in employer default. It provides comprehensive definitions for terms like "debt", "employer default", and "related party" to clarify contract eligibility requirements.

The affidavit serves as a legally binding document requiring vendors to affirm they are not in default on monetary obligations to the state for construction or other contracts. Vendors must disclose any outstanding assessments, penalties, fines, or other monetary obligations to the state or its political subdivisions. By signing, the vendor's authorized representative swears under penalty of law that neither the vendor nor any related parties have unresolved debts or are in employer default, with specific exceptions outlined for contested tax matters or where payment plans are in place.
