About this file
This is a Vendor Affidavit document issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools in Florida regarding compliance with human trafficking and labor coercion prohibitions under Florida Statutes Section 787.06(13). The affidavit is required for all nongovernmental contractors executing, renewing, or extending contracts with the school district. The document outlines seven specific prohibitions that vendors must certify they do not engage in, including the use of physical force, unlawful restraint or confinement, exploitative debt practices, document confiscation, threats of financial harm, fraud or deception, and provision of controlled substances for exploitation. Authorized signatories must execute the affidavit under penalty of perjury, confirming the accuracy of their certifications regarding their company's compliance with these statutory requirements.
This affidavit is a mandatory compliance document for the Montessori Classroom Supplies Invitation to Quote issued by Hillsborough County Public Schools, which serves approximately 225,000 students across 235 schools in Florida. The affidavit must be completed and submitted by all prospective vendors responding to the ITQ, with responses due by Friday, April 10, 2026, at 5:00 PM via the VendorLink portal. Failure to provide the signed affidavit or any subsequent discovery of noncompliance with the statutory prohibitions regarding human trafficking and labor coercion would render a vendor non-responsive and ineligible for contract award. The certification requirement applies throughout the initial contract term and any renewal periods, ensuring ongoing vendor compliance with Florida's anti-trafficking and labor protection statutes.
