All vendors must complete and submit mandatory certifications including the Debarment and Suspension Certification, Certification for Federally Funded Projects, Verification Related to Prohibited Contracts Form, Vendor Compliance on Reciprocity for Non-Resident Vendors, Conflict of Interest Questionnaire, and Disclosure of Certain Relationships documentation.
