RECIPROCAL LIMITATIONS ACT REQUIREMENTS.pdf

This is a requirements document from the Pennsylvania Department of Human Services outlining Reciprocal Limitations Act compliance obligations for vendors and contractors. The document establishes eligibility criteria and restrictions applicable to organizations and individuals seeking to conduct business with the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The Reciprocal Limitations Act requires that prospective contractors certify they are not debarred, suspended, or otherwise ineligible for federal contracts and that they comply with all applicable federal and state regulations regarding business integrity and lawful operations. Vendors must demonstrate their eligibility status and acknowledge their understanding of these requirements as a condition of contract award and performance.

The document emphasizes that all suppliers and service providers must maintain compliance throughout the contract term and are subject to verification procedures by the Commonwealth. Vendors are required to disclose any changes in their eligibility status, including criminal convictions, civil judgments, or regulatory violations that would affect their qualification to perform work for Pennsylvania. Non-compliance with Reciprocal Limitations Act requirements may result in contract termination, debarment from future procurements, and potential legal action. This requirement applies to all vendors competing for or performing on state and local contract opportunities, including the food supply contract for the second quarter of 2026 referenced in this procurement.
