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

that all Equivalent Products and Substitute Products proposed
