Instructions for Certification
1. By signing and submitting this form, the prospective primary participant is providing the certification
set out on the reverse side in accordance with these instructions.

failure of the prospective primary participant to furnish a certification or an explanation shall disqualify such
person from participation in this transaction.
3. The certification in this clause is a material representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when
the department or agency determined to enter into this transaction. If it is later determined that the
prospective primary participant knowingly rendered an erroneous certification, in addition to other remedies
available to the Federal Government, the department or agency may terminate this transaction for cause or
default
4. The prospective primary participant shall provide immediate written notice to the department or agency
to whom this proposal is submitted if at any time the prospective primary participant learns that its
certification was erroneous when submitted or has become erroneous by reason of changed circumstances.
5. The terms "covered transaction," 'debarred," "suspended," "ineligible," "lower tier covered transaction,"
"participant," "person," "primary covered transaction," "principal," "proposal," and "voluntarily excluded," as
