Prohibited Contracting with Covered Foreign Entities

Summary

The bill would make any company tied to the People’s Republic of China ineligible to bid on or hold state or local contracts for office computers, printers, or video‑conferencing services. Bidders would have to certify they are not a “covered foreign entity,” and contracts could be terminated immediately if the certification is false. It is intended to keep Florida procurement away from entities that may be compelled to cooperate with Chinese defense or intelligence agencies.
