RFP_Attachment A_ Equal Opportunity Certification.pdf

This is an Equal Opportunity Certification form (Attachment A to RFP No. 4617.2) for Montgomery County Public Schools (MCPS) in Maryland related to a procurement for Spanish Language Reading Comprehension and Proficiency Web-based Assessments. The certification document requires bidders to disclose their participation in contractual agreements containing Equal Employment Opportunity Clauses under Executive Order 11246, as amended, and to identify any designated Federal Compliance Agency overseeing their compliance. Respondents must indicate whether they are required to maintain written affirmative action plans per 41 CFR 60-2 and 60-1(a)(4), whether they have been required to correct deficiencies in such plans or employment policies, and whether they must submit annual compliance reports under 41 CFR 60-1.7(a). The form includes a section for bidders to provide data on subcontractors, documenting their history of contracts subject to Executive Orders 10925, 11114, and 11246, as amended, and their filing of certificates of nonsegregated facilities and annual EEO compliance reports (EEO-1, EEO-4, or EEO-6).

The certification form serves as a compliance verification tool requiring bidders to demonstrate their adherence to federal equal opportunity and affirmative action requirements. No specific pricing information, set-asides, incumbent contractor details, funding amounts, or contract term information is contained in this attachment. Bidders must complete all sections accurately and enclose supporting documentation, such as the latest compliance report if applicable, as part of their proposal submission for the web-based Spanish language assessment services.
