(d) Have [__] have not [__] within a three-year period preceding this offer,
been convicted of or had a civil judgment rendered against them for commission
of fraud or a criminal offense in conjunction with obtaining, attempting to
obtain, or performing a public (Federal, state or local) contract or

evaluation of the offeror's capability (see 2.1.9.c.3 of the Interim Internal
Purchasing Guidelines). The offeror's failure to furnish a certification or
provide additional information requested by the contracting officer will affect
the capability evaluation.

(6) Nothing contained in the foregoing may be construed to require establishment

required by paragraph (a) of this provision. The knowledge and information of an
offeror is not required to exceed that which is normally possessed by a prudent
person in the ordinary course of business dealings.

the United States and the making of a false, fictitious, or fraudulent
certification may render the maker subject to prosecution under section 1001,
Title 18, United States Code.

representation of fact upon which reliance was placed when making the award. If
it is later determined that the offeror knowingly rendered an erroneous
certification, in addition to other remedies available to the Postal Service,
the Contracting Officer may terminate the contract resulting from this
solicitation for default.

order as a change order.

(3) If any such change affects the cost of performance or the delivery schedule,
