I certify that this offer is made without prior understanding, agreement, or connection with any corporation, firm or person submitting an offer for the

same materials, supplies, or equipment and is in all respects fair and without collusion or fraud. I agree to abide by all conditions of this offer and certify

that I am authorized to sign this offer for the Supplier and that the Supplier is in compliance with all requirements of the Invitation To Negotiate, including

but not limited to, certification requirements. In submitting an offer to an agency for the State of Florida, the Supplier offers and agrees that if the offer

is accepted, the Supplier will convey, sell, assign or transfer to the State of Florida all rights, title and interest in and to all causes of action it may now

or hereafter acquire under the Anti-trust laws of the United States and the State of Florida for price fixing relating to the particular commodities or

services purchased or acquired by the state of Florida. At the State’s discretion, such assignment shall be made and become effective at the time the

procurement agency tenders final payment to the Supplier.

submitted as specified in Section 2.6. Offer prices not submitted on any

with University policy.
