GSA Form 3518A: Representations and Certifications (Short Form)

The form says to complete the appropriate boxes, sign the form and attach it to the offer. The representations and certifications are made by the Offeror, which the form defines as the owner of the property offered, not an individual or agent representing the owner. Its 9 numbered provisions cover small business status, equal opportunity reports, tax and felony representations, lobbying, taxpayer identification, the DUNS number and contractor registration. Each page has an initials line for the lessor and the Government.
