b. In its proposal, Proposer must notify the Court if Proposer’s goods or services contain or utilize GenAI (or will contain or utilize GenAI), or if GenAI is or will be included in any services, goods, or deliverables that materially impact:

1) functionality of a Court system (i.e., the work using GenAI could have a significant, substantial effect on the system’s data integrity, availability, confidentiality, or security, and failure to perform such work in accordance with the contract could cause major disruptions to court operations);

2) risk to the Court (i.e., the work using GenAI could have a significant, substantial effect on the Court’s operations, finances, security, or reputation, and failure to perform such work in accordance with the contract would constitute a high likelihood of damage to the Court); or https://www.lacourt.ca.gov/pages/lp/procurement/cp/socioeconomic-programs

RFP 2026-074 Page 7 of 12

3) contract performance (i.e., when failure to conduct work which uses GenAI in accordance with the contract would constitute a material breach of contract).

c. Proposer’s failure to disclose GenAI to the Court may result in disqualification (at the Court’s sole discretion), and the Court reserves the right to seek any and all relief it may be entitled to as a result of such non-disclosure.

d. The Court reserves the right to incorporate GenAI-related provisions into the final contract and to reject bids/offers that present an unacceptable level of risk to the Court, as determined by the Court in its sole discretion.

5. Multiple Awards. The Court reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to award multiple contracts to more than one vendor under this RFP. If multiple awards are made, the Court will not be obligated to procure any minimum amount of Work under any such contracts executed under this RFP.
