RFP 25-03_Attachment A.pdf

This is a Vendor Financial Attestation form for RFP 25-03 Low-Code Application Development Services issued by the Florida Department of Citrus (FDOC). The attestation serves as a requirement for vendor eligibility determination under Florida Statute 287.012(25) and must be completed by an authorized representative of the responding vendor. The form establishes a baseline financial responsibility evaluation by requiring vendors to confirm five critical conditions: direct knowledge of the vendor's financial condition and operations, sufficient financial resources to honor short-term obligations with current payment status, adequate financial resources to sustain long-term obligations through the contract lifecycle, operations that generate income exceeding operating expenses, and demonstrated capacity to provide the specified commodities and contractual services. Each statement requires a yes or no response, and the authorized representative must sign and date the attestation under oath. Vendors must respond affirmatively to all five statements to qualify as a Responsible Vendor eligible for contract award.

The financial attestation is a standard pre-award compliance document with no pricing information, set-asides, or renewal options detailed within the form itself. The attestation does not contain information regarding incumbent vendors, current environment specifications, or funding sources and amounts. Rather, it functions as a screening mechanism to ensure that responding vendors possess the foundational financial viability and operational capacity necessary to undertake the development and deployment of a low-code application replacement system for the FDOC's legacy revenue system, which carries a total initial budget of $250,000 ($200,000 for development and $50,000 for data warehouse creation and system integration).
