The certification prohibits use of federal appropriated funds to influence federal officials. Contractors must verify they are not listed in the System for Award Management (SAM) exclusions database and are not debarred or suspended. For contracts exceeding $150,000, compliance with the Clean Air Act and Federal Water Pollution Control Act is mandatory.
