PIB 2019-02 Electronic Signatures (May 2019)

(a) The Department of Justice is committed to doing business in the most efficient and effective way possible, and to facilitate paperless processes. In furtherance of this goal, the Contracting Officer may apply their digital signature to procurement documents in the Portable Document Format (PDF) through the use of their government issued Personal Identity Verification (PIV) Card with a valid public key certificate. A digital signature made with these certificates is evidence that a specific individual signed the electronic record and that it was not altered. The recipient of a signed document can rely on the digital signature as evidence for a third party that the signature was generated by the claimed signer.

(b) For procurement documents that require a signature from a representative of the Contractor, the Contractor may utilize manual or electronic signature. Should the Contractor utilize an electronic signature, by returning the document with an electronic symbol affixed to the appropriate signature block, the Contractor representative signing on behalf of the Contractor certifies that:

Electronic Form of Signature: The Contractor representative has knowingly adopted, applied or affixed an electronic symbol to the document;

Intent to Sign: The Contractor representative has applied an electronic symbol with the intent to legally bind the Contractor;

Association of Signature to Record: the Contractor representative’s signature is attached to the electronic record being signed;

Identification and Authentication of Signer: The Contractor has a means to identify and authenticate a particular person as the signer; and Integrity of Signed Record: The Contractor can attest to the integrity of the signed record between the time of signature and the returned record to the government.
