About this file
This is a Vendor Affidavit regarding the Use of Coercion for Labor and Services issued by the School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida in connection with an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) numbered 25566-ITQ-EST for welding equipment procurement. The affidavit is required under Section 787.06(13) of the Florida Statutes for all nongovernmental entities executing, renewing, or extending contracts with the school district. The document mandates that an authorized officer or representative of the contractor certify under penalty of perjury that the company does not engage in human trafficking or labor coercion practices. The ITQ seeks two Scotchman Ironworker Model 50514-EC machines, two Deluxe #20 Punch & Die Starter Kits, and two Weld Coupon Benders for equipping two new welding training laboratories at the new Rick Lott Technical College. Questions regarding the procurement were accepted until November 11, 2025, with quotes due by November 18, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder and includes potential for automatic renewals for up to four additional one-year periods, contingent on budget appropriations and contractor performance.
The affidavit requires vendors to certify they do not use or threaten physical force, restrain or confine persons without lawful authority, establish exploitative debt arrangements, confiscate identification documents, cause financial harm, use fraud or deceit to entice persons, or provide controlled substances for exploitation. Vendors must complete this compliance document along with other required forms, including a Contracting with Entities of Foreign Countries of Concern Prohibited Affidavit that restricts participation from vendors with significant connections to China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria. The solicitation encourages participation from small business enterprises and allows for potential use by other public agencies in Hillsborough County. Equipment delivery and placement is required at 1690 E. Park Rd. in Plant City, Florida, with the project aiming for completion before the college's opening on December 1, 2025. The ITQ allows for a cost-plus markup approach not exceeding 15% for additional as-needed items, with pricing to include shipping, handling, and warranty.
