Solicitation Amendment for Maintenance Kits for Caterpillar C18 Generators for U.S. Embassy Harare, Zimbabwe   2

Background
The Department of State requires all contractors to certify compliance with applicable federal anti-discrimination laws. This certification is crucial for the government's payment decisions and is subject to the False Claims Act, as outlined in 31 U.S.C. 3729(b)(4). The goal of this requirement is to ensure that contractors do not operate programs promoting Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) that violate these laws.

Work Details
Contractors must complete a certification form that includes the following steps:

1. Read the entire certification provided.
2. Check the appropriate boxes after reviewing the provisions.
3. Fill out the representation, ensuring it is signed by an authorized person who can bind the contractor or offeror.
4. Return the completed form to the designated Contracting Officer or Point of Contact (POC).

The certification requires that the contractor certifies they are in compliance with all applicable federal anti-discrimination laws and do not operate any DEI programs that violate these laws.
