04-EEO Policy Statement.docx

This is an Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) Policy Statement for RFP #27-13 issued by Roswell Park Comprehensive Cancer Center in New York. The statement establishes mandatory non-discrimination and equal employment opportunity requirements that the successful respondent and all subcontractors must adopt and implement in connection with the Contract Management System procurement. The policy requires compliance with New York's Human Rights Law and all applicable federal, state, and local non-discrimination statutes, covering protections based on race, religion, color, national origin, sex (including gender identity and expression), sexual orientation, age, disability, predisposing genetic characteristic, marital status, military status, and domestic violence victim status. The successful vendor must document efforts to employ and utilize minority group members and women in its workforce, include non-discrimination language in all employee solicitations and advertisements, and ensure that employment agencies, labor unions, and collective bargaining representatives cooperate in implementing these requirements.

The successful respondent must incorporate all EEO Policy Statement provisions into every subcontract, ensuring that all requirements are binding upon each subcontractor throughout the contract lifecycle. The policy statement requires the respondent's authorized representative to sign and date the document, acknowledging acceptance of these terms as a condition of contract award. These EEO requirements apply regardless of the contract's technical specifications, pricing, or implementation timeline for the contract management system solution.
