Title: Supplier’s Certificate Agreement

with the U.S. Agency for International

Development—Invoice and Contract

Abstract.

Type of Submission: Renew.

Purpose: The U.S. Agency for

International Development (USAID)

finances goods and related services

under its Commodity Import Program

which are contracted for by public and

private entities in the countries

receiving the USAID assistance. Since

USAID is not a party to these contracts,

USAID needs some means to collect

information directly from the suppliers

of the goods and related services and to

enable to USAID to take appropriate

action against them in the event they do

not comply with the applicable

regulations. USAID does this by

securing from the suppliers, as a

condition for the disbursement of funds

a certificate and agreement with USAID

which contains appropriate

representations by the suppliers.
