GSA Form 3518: Representations and Certifications (Leasehold Interests in Real Property)

GSA Form 3518, Representations and Certifications (Acquisition of Leasehold Interests in Real Property), is a General Services Administration form. Its footer reads GSA 3518 (REV. 5/2013). GSA hosts it in its forms library, and GSA's page lists APD 2800.12A as the authority.

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 12 numbered provisions cover small business status, equal opportunity reports, tax and felony representations, independent pricing, lobbying, responsibility matters, taxpayer identification, the DUNS number and contractor registration. Each page has an initials line for the lessor and the Government.
