RFP 25-03_Attachment C.pdf

This is a Vendor Conflicts of Interest Attestation form required for RFP 25-03 Low-Code Application Development Services issued by the Florida Department of Citrus (FDOC). The attestation requires the authorized representative of the responding vendor to declare under oath that all conflicts of interest involving FDOC employees have been disclosed, including any current FDOC employees on the vendor's staff and any employees who own five percent (5%) or more interest in the respondent or its affiliates. The form mandates that vendors certify their officers, directors, employees, and other agents will not create conflicts that would adversely impact performance of the required services. The attestation includes a table for detailed employee disclosure listing full legal names, position titles, disclosed positions held or ownership percentages, and signature and date fields. This document is subject to Chapter 112, Florida Statutes, and must be completed and submitted as part of the vendor's proposal response.

The attestation form itself contains no pricing information, set-asides, incumbent vendor details, or funding requirements, as it serves solely as a compliance and disclosure document. However, the related RFP establishes a total initial development budget of $200,000 for solution design, configuration, development, testing, and deployment, with an additional $50,000 for creating a Data Warehouse in Azure Synapse and integrating interfaces. The contract term runs from May 20, 2026, through June 30, 2027, with potential renewals extending three additional one-year periods subject to Florida Citrus Commission approval. Proposals are due April 21, 2026, at 1:00 PM ET in Bartow, Florida, with an anticipated Intent to Award on or about May 12, 2026. The RFP allocates five points for small business participation as an incentive within the broader scoring framework, and all vendors must be registered with MyFloridaMarketPlace and comply with Florida statutory requirements including E-Verify verification and drug-free workplace attestations.
