About this file
This file comprises instructions for the Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire required by the New York State Unified Court System (UCS) as a component of all UCS solicitations, specifically for the Judiciary Civil Legal Services Legal Empowerment Project. The questionnaire is designed to assess prospective contractors' responsibility by evaluating their legal authority to conduct business in New York State, business integrity, financial and organizational resources, and performance history. The UCS is soliciting sealed proposals to award contracts for legal services to nonprofit organizations across ten counties: Bronx, Erie, Kings, Monroe, Nassau, New York, Onondaga, Queens, Suffolk, and Westchester. These contracts will provide representation, legal assistance, legal information, and outreach to indigent individuals and families at or below 200% of the federal poverty threshold, with eligible clients including those experiencing violence, displacement, disability, or other barriers to access to justice. The initiative aims to strengthen access to civil legal services through coordinated use of attorneys, legal advocates, family advocates, social workers, and benefits specialists.
Vendors may file the Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire online through the New York State VendRep System or submit a paper questionnaire with their proposal. Vendors filing online must acknowledge completion and certification of the questionnaire on the OSC VendRep System and submit the acknowledgment page with their proposal; vendors selecting the paper option must complete and submit the paper form with their proposal. The UCS is allocating $6,000,000 in aggregate funding to address civil legal needs for eligible clients across the selected counties. Vendors may request assignment of a Vendor Identification Number or VendRep System assistance by contacting the Office of the State Comptroller's Online Services at 866-370-4672, 518-408-4672, or ITServiceDesk@osc.ny.gov.

ATTACHMENT III
NYS UNIFIED COURT SYSTEM
VENDOR RESPONSIBILITY QUESTIONNAIRE: INSTRUCTIONS
(This page is not the Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire)
The New York State Unified Court System (UCS) is required to conduct a review of a prospective contractor to provide reasonable assurances that the vendor is responsible. The Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire, a required component of all UCS solicitations, is designed to provide information to assist the UCS in assessing a vendor’s responsibility prior to entering into a contract with the vendor. Vendor responsibility is determined by a review of each prospective contractor’s legal authority to do business in New York State, business integrity, financial and organizational resources, and performance history (including references).
The UCS recommends that vendors file the required Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire online via the New York State VendRep System. To enroll in and use the New York State VendRep System, see the VendRep System instructions available at www.osc.state.ny.us/vendrep/index.htm or go directly to the VendRep System online at https://www.osc.state.ny.us/state-vendors/vendrep/file-your-vendor-responsibility-questionnaire. Vendors must provide their New York State Vendor Identification Number when enrolling. To request assignment of a Vendor ID number or for VendRep System assistance, contact the Office of the State Comptroller’s Online Services at 866-370-4672 or 518-408-4672 or by email at ITServiceDesk@osc.ny.gov. However, vendors may choose to complete and submit a paper questionnaire.
Vendors opting to complete and submit a paper questionnaire can obtain the appropriate questionnaire from the VendRep website http://www.osc.state.ny.us/vendrep/forms_vendor.htm or may contact the UCS or the Office of the State Comptroller for a copy of the paper form.
