HUB Form 5369-A PDF Details

The HUD 5369 A form, officially titled "Representations, Certifications, and Other Statements of Bidders Public and Indian Housing Programs," serves a critical role in the procurement process within the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) for Public and Indian Housing Programs. Designed to ensure integrity and compliance throughout the bidding process, this comprehensive document encompasses a range of certifications and disclosures that bidders must adhere to. From the Certificate of Independent Price Determination, which aims to prevent collusion and ensure fair pricing, to Certifications regarding environmental compliance, such as the Clean Air and Water Certification, the form spans a variety of legal and ethical considerations. It addresses potential organizational conflicts of interest, details requirements under the Davis-Bacon Act for construction contracts, and mandates non-discrimination through the Certification of Nonsegregated Facilities. Additionally, it extends into areas concerning small, minority, and women-owned businesses, as well as ensuring that bidding parties have not engaged in activities intended to unduly influence the bid process. Moreover, it emphasizes transparency through the requirement of a Previous Participation Certificate, detailing the bidder's prior involvement in HUD projects, and insists upon a declaration of eligibility to participate in federal contracts, thus safeguarding the integrity and equitable selection within HUD's contracting endeavors.
