EXHIBIT E – DARFUR CONTRACTING ACT If your agency hires a contractor to complete work under this grant, the contractor must fill out and sign the Darfur Contracting Act form prior to execution of the contract. A Sample of The Darfur Contracting Act form is provided on the next page; this form (DGS PD 1) can also be downloaded from the California Department of General Services website. Effective January 1, 2009, all Invitations for Bids (IFB) or Requests for Proposals (RFP) for goods or services must address the requirements of the Darfur Contracting Act of 2008 (Act). (Public Contract Code sections 10475, et seq.; Stats. 2008, Ch. 272). The Act was passed by the California Legislature and signed into law by the Governor to preclude State agencies generally from contracting with “scrutinized” companies that do business in the African nation of Sudan (of which the Darfur region is a part), for the reasons described in Public Contract Code section 10475. A scrutinized company is a company doing business in Sudan as defined in Public Contract Code section 10476. Scrutinized companies are ineligible to, and cannot, bid on or submit a proposal for a contract with a State agency for goods or services. (Public Contract Code section 10477(a)). Therefore, Public Contract Code section 10478 (a) requires a company that currently has (or within the previous three years has had) business activities or other operations outside of the United States to certify that it is not a “scrutinized” company when it submits a bid or proposal to a State agency. (See # 1 on the sample Attachment). The following sample Attachment may be included in an IFB or RFP to satisfy the Act’s certification requirements of bidders and proposers.
