which in the Italian market of collective catering are unusual for the specific performance of such services. The request for such certifications in the Italian market might be limiting free competition and therefore in your specific case will limit the number of participants and consequently the most advantageous offer for you. Is it possible to participate even if we do not possess the UNI EN ISO 14040: 2006, UNI CEN ISO / TS 14067: 2013, IFS, DTP 108 certifications.

Q4: With reference to the clause 52.212-3 "Offeror Representations and Certifications - Commercial Products and commercial services" we'd like to know if the document should be simply signed or if we have to fill in the blanks, due to the fact that all the references concern the American laws, and services and products that we do not sell.
