PART 5 - CERTIFICATIONS Offerors must provide the required certifications and associated information to be issued a standing offer.

The certifications provided by offerors to Canada are subject to verification by Canada at all times. Canada will declare an offer non-responsive, will have the right to set-aside a standing offer, or will declare a contractor in default in carrying out any of its obligations under any resulting contracts, if any certification made by the Offeror is found to be untrue whether made knowingly or unknowingly during the offer evaluation period, during the Standing Offer period, or during the contract period.

The Standing Offer Authority will have the right to ask for additional information to verify the Offeror's certifications. Failure to comply and to cooperate with any request or requirement imposed by the Standing Offer Authority may render the Offer non-responsive, may result in the setting aside of the Standing Offer or constitute a default under the Contract.

1. Certifications Required Precedent to Issuance of a Standing Offer

1.1 Integrity Provisions - Associated Information By submitting an offer, the Offeror certifies that the Offeror and its Affiliates are in compliance with the provisions as stated in Section 01 Integrity Provisions - Offer of Standard Instructions 2006. The associated information required within the Integrity Provisions will assist Canada in confirming that the certifications are true.

1.2 Federal Contractors Program for Employment Equity - Standing Offer Certification By submitting an offer, the Offeror certifies that the Offeror, and any of the Offeror's members if the Offeror is a Joint Venture, is not named on the Federal Contractors Program (FCP) for employment equity "FCP Limited Eligibility to Bid" list (http://www.labour.gc.ca/eng/standards_equity/eq/emp/fcp/list/ine lig.shtml) available from Employment and Social Development Canada-Labour's website.

Canada will have the right to declare an offer non-responsive, or to set-aside a Standing Offer, if the Offeror, or any member of the Offeror if the Offeror is a Joint Venture, appears on the "FCP Limited Eligibility to Bid" list at the time of issuing of a Standing Offer or during the period of the Standing Offer.

2. Additional Certifications Precedent to Issuance of a Standing Offer The certifications listed below should be completed and submitted with the offer, but may be submitted afterwards. If any of these required certifications is not completed and submitted as requested, the Standing Offer Authority will so inform the Offeror and provide the Offeror with a time frame within which to meet the requirement. Failure to comply with the request of the Standing Offer Authority and meet the requirement within that time period will render the offer non-responsive.

2.1 Equivalent and Substitute Products Conformance Certification Offeror offering Equivalent or Substitute products certifies that all Equivalent Products and Substitute Products proposed conform, and will continue to conform throughout the duration of the Standing Offer and any resulting contract, to all technical specifications of the purchase description.

This certification does not relieve the offer from meeting the requirement detailed in Part 3, Section I, Equivalent Products and Substitute Products.
