Spanish term (edited): se prononunciar y aportara las pruebas de descargo

to produce evidence on its (NN's) behalf

"provide the defense evidence" is ambiguous.
"exulpatory evidence" is an alternative but would be probably be wrong in in this administrative matter (more context needed).

and present (such) evidence in its own defense

...que estime pertinentes (as it sees fit)

I think the key word is 'descargo' which implies that the evidence the entity is being invited to present is evidence against a charge or suspicion under investigation. In effect, exculpatory, though that word may be too redolent of a criminal trial which the context tells us this is not. The reason for 'such' is that we have an open invitation to present evidence, not any specific evidence, but rather whatever evidence the entity might decide to furnish.
Example sentence:

and present such evidence in its own defense as it sees fit...
