2.0 Contract Interpretation
2.1 Usage Where the Contract:
1. assigns obligations to Contractor, any reference to “Contractor” is to be construed to be a reference to
“Contractor and all Subcontractors, whether they are first-tier subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, suppliers, sub-suppliers, consultants, or sub-consultants, as well as all of Contractor’s and the Subcontractors’ respective agents, representatives, and employees” in every instance unless the context plainly requires that it is be a reference only to Contractor as apart from Subcontractors;
2. uses the permissive “may” with respect to a party’s actions, determinations, etc., the term is to be interpreted as in A.A.C. R2-7-101(31) [Definitions]. For clarity of intent, any right given to State using https://spo.az.gov/administration-policy/state-procurement-resource/procurement-regulations
P A G E 8 O F 35
“State may” or a like construction denotes discretion and freedom to act so far as any regulatory or operative constraints permit in the relevant circumstances, provided that: (a) where written “may, at its discretion,” the discretion extends to whatever is most advantageous to State; and (b) where written only as “may,” the discretion is constrained by what is fair, reasonable, and as accommodating of the respective best interests of both parties as practicable under the circumstances;
3. uses the imperative “shall” with respect to a party’s actions, duties, etc., the term is to be interpreted as in A.A.C. R2-7-101(43) [Definitions]. Conversely, the phrase “shall not” is to be interpreted as an imperative prohibition.
4. uses the term “must” with respect to a requirement, criterion, etc., the term is to be interpreted as conveying compulsion or strict necessity, and is to be read as though written “must, if [the subject] is to be entitled to have [the object] considered or credited as being compliant with, conforming to, or satisfying [the requirement, criterion, constraint, etc.], otherwise, [the object] will be considered or debited as being non-compliant, non-conforming, or unsatisfactory for its Contract-related purposes” in every instance;
5. uses the term “might” with respect to an event, outcome, action, etc., the term is to be interpreted as conveying contingency or non-discretionary conditionality; and
6. uses the term “will” or the phrases “is to be” or “are to be” with respect to an event, outcome, action, etc., the term or phrase is to be interpreted as conveying such certainty or imperativeness that “shall” is either unnecessary or irrelevant in that instance.
2.2 Master Contract and
Participating Addendum Order of Precedence
COMPLEMENTARY DOCUMENTS. All of the documents forming the Contract are complementary. If certain work, requirements, obligations, or duties are set out only in one but not in another, Contractor shall carry out the Work as though the relevant work, requirements, obligations, or duties had been fully described in all, consistent with the other documents forming the Contract and as is reasonably inferable from them as being necessary to produce complete results.
CONFLICTS. In case of any inconsistency, conflict, or ambiguity among the documents forming the Contract and their provisions, they are to prevail in the following order, descending from most dominate to most subordinate, provided that, among categories of documents or provisions having the same rank, the document or provision with the latest date prevails. Information being identified in one document but not in another is not to be considered a conflict or inconsistency.
(a) The State of Arizona Participating Addendum Amendments;
(b) the State of Arizona Participating Addendum, in the order:
(1) Special Terms and Conditions;
(2) Exhibits to the Special Terms and Conditions;
(3) Uniform Terms and Conditions;
(4) Scope of Work;
(5) Exhibits to the Scope of Work;
(6) Pricing Document;
(7) Exhibits to the Pricing Document; and
(8) Specifications;
(c) Utah NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement;
(d) The NASPO ValuePoint Master Agreement Solicitation including all Addendums;
(e) Contract Vendors response to the Solicitation; and
(f) Orders, in reverse chronological order;
ATTACHMENTS AND EXHIBITS. For clarity of intent, if an item was an Attachment in the Solicitation Documents or an Offer (either Initial, Revised, Best and Final, or Accepted) and was subsequently made into an Exhibit, or its content was incorporated into one of the other Contract documents, then that Attachment no longer exists contractually as an “Attachment” since it has at that point been made into some other Contract document. In every other case, an Attachment and the Offeror data therein remain part of the Accepted Offer for purposes of precedence and contractual effect.
P A G E 9 O F 35
2.3 Independent Contractor Contractor is an independent contractor and shall act in an independent capacity in performance under the Contract. Neither party is or is to be construed as being to be the employee or agent of the other party, and no action, inaction, event, or circumstance will be grounds for deeming it to be so.
2.4 Complete
Integration
The Contract, including any documents incorporated into the Contract by reference, is intended by the parties as a final and complete expression of their agreement. There are no prior, contemporaneous, or additional agreements, either oral or in writing, pertaining to the Contract.
3.0 Contract Administration and Operation

“Default for Type” for “General Mailing Address” in Contractor’s corresponding The State’s e- Procurement System Vendor Profile; and

1. extension of the term of the Contract within the maximum aggregate term;
2. revision to Procurement Officer appointment or contact information; or

In every case other than those listed in (1), (2), and (3) above, both parties’ signature – or “approval” in The State’s e-Procurement System, in the case of an Amendment – are required to give it effect.
3.5 Entire Agreement, Licensing
Agreements, Click-Through Terms and Conditions & Other Documents
This PA together with the Master Agreement represents the entire agreement between the parties. Any licensing and maintenance agreement, or any order-specific agreement or document, including any pre-installation, linked or “click through” agreement that is allowed by, referenced within or incorporated within the ordering document whenever the Contract is used for a Purchasing Entity, whether directly by the Contractor or through a Contractor’s agent, subcontractor or reseller, is agreed to only to the extent the terms within any
P A G E 10 O F 35 such agreement or document do not, diminish or derogate the terms of the Contract or create an additional financial obligation to the State. Any such agreement or document must not be construed to deprive the State or the Purchasing Entity of its sovereign immunity, or of any legal requirements, prohibitions, protections, exclusions or limitations of liability applicable to this Contract or afforded to the State by Arizona law. A Purchasing Entity employee’s decision to choose “accept” or an equivalent option associated with a “click-through” agreement does not constitute the Purchasing Entity’s concurrence or acceptance of terms, if such terms are in conflict with this section.
3.6 Books and
Records
3.6.1 RETAIN RECORDS. By A.R.S. § 41-2548(B), to the extent applicable, Contractor shall retain and shall contractually require each Subcontractor to retain books and records relating for any cost and pricing data submitted in satisfaction of § 41-2543 for the period specified in the statute.
3.6.2 RIGHT TO AUDIT. The retained books and records are subject to audit by State during that period. By A.R.S. § 41-2548(B), Contractor shall retain and shall contractually require each Subcontractor to retain books and records relating to performance under the Contract for the period specified in the statute and those retained books and records are subject to audit by State during that period.
3.6.3 AUDITING. Contractor or Subcontractor shall either make all such books and records under subparagraphs 3.6.1 and 3.6.2 available to State at all reasonable times or produce the records at a designated State office on State’s demand, the choice of which being at State’s discretion. For the purpose of this paragraph, “reasonable times” are during normal business hours and in such a manner so as to not unreasonably interfere with normal business activities.
3.7 Contractor Licenses Contractor shall maintain current all federal, state and local licenses and permits required for the operation of its business in general, for its operations under the Contract, and for the Work itself.
3.8 Inspection
and Testing
By A.R.S. § 41-2547, State may at reasonable times inspect the part of Contractor’s or Subcontractors’ plant or places of business related to performance under the Contract. Accordingly, Contractor agrees to permit (for itself) and ensure (for Subcontractors) access for inspection at any reasonable time to its facilities, processes, and services. State may inspect or test, at its own cost, any finished goods, work-in-progress, components, or unfinished materials that are be supplied under the Contract or that will be incorporated into something to be supplied under the Contract. If the inspection or testing shows non-conformance or defects, then Contractor will owe State reimbursement or payment of all costs it incurred in carrying out or contracting for the inspection and testing, as well as for any re-inspection or re-testing that might be necessary. Neither inspection of facilities nor testing of goods, work, components, or unfinished materials will of itself constitute acceptance by State of those things.
3.9 Ownership of Intellectual
Property [Reserved]
3.10 Subcontracts 3.10.1 INITIAL LIST. [Reserved]
3.10.2 ADDITIONAL NAMES. Contractor shall not enter into a Subcontract in performance of this Participating
Addendum without first obtaining written consent form the Purchasing Entity.
3.10.3 FLOW-DOWN. Contractor shall incorporate the applicable provisions, terms, and conditions of the
Contract into every Subcontract by inclusion or by reference, as appropriate. When making any post-execution consent requests, Contractor shall include its warrant that it will do the same for the pending Subcontracts covered by the request. Entering into Subcontracts will not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations or duties under the Contract, including, among other things, the duty to supervise and coordinate the work of Subcontractors. Nothing contained in any Subcontract will create or is to be construed as creating any contractual relationship between State and the Subcontractor.
3.11 Offshore
Performance of Certain Work Prohibited
Contractor shall only perform those portions of the Services that directly serve State or its clients and involve access to secure or sensitive data or personal client data within the defined territories of the United States.
Unless specifically stated otherwise in the Scope of Work, this paragraph does not apply to indirect or overhead services, redundant back-up services, or services that are incidental to performance under the Contract. This provision applies to work performed by Subcontractors at all tiers.
3.12 Orders 3.12.1 ORDER SUFFICIENCY. The Contract was awarded in accordance with the Arizona Procurement Code;
the transactions and procedures required by the code for competitive source selection have been met.
An Order issued that cites the correct State contract number will suffice to authorize Contractor to provide the Materials and perform the Services covered by that Order.
P A G E 11 O F 35
3.12.2 ORDER TERMS. All Orders are subject to the Contract Terms and Conditions; an Order cannot modify the Contract Terms and Conditions.
3.12.3 ORDERS ARE OBLIGATORY. Until the expiration or earlier termination of the Contract, State may issue and Contractor shall accept Orders that make proper reference to the Contract and are permissible hereunder, provided that, Contractor is not obliged to accept any Order that is not consistent with the then-current pricing, lead times, specifications, availability, or payment provisions of the Contract.
Contractor shall fulfill and complete any Orders that are begun but not yet completed as of expiration or earlier termination of the Contract unless State instructs otherwise at the time.
3.12.4 SPECIAL CASE. In the special case where both the following conditions are true, Procurement Officer’s signature on the Acceptance is Contractor’s authorization to perform and therefore no Order is required: (a) the Contract is identified as being a “single-agency/single-project” contract and (b) the Contract was created in The State’s e-Procurement System as something other than a “Master/ Blanket” type.
3.12.5 NO MINIMUMS OR COMMITMENTS. (a) Contractor shall not impose any minimum dollar amount, item count, services volume, or services duration on Orders; (b) State makes no commitment of any kind concerning the quantity or monetary value of activity actually initiated or completed during the term of the Contract; (c) Contractor shall only deliver or perform as authorized by Orders; and (d) State is not limited as to the number of Orders it may issue for the Contract. For clarity of intent, the foregoing applies equally whether an Eligible Agency issues the Order or, if applicable, a Co-Op Buyer issues it.
3.12.6 NON-CONTRACTED MATERIALS OR SERVICES. Any attempt to knowingly represent for sales, marketing, or related purposes that goods or services not specifically awarded are under a State contract is a violation of the Contract and law.
3.13 Statewide Contract
Provisions
The Contract is a “statewide” contract for multiple purchases, projects, or assignments, and can be purchased against by some or all Eligible Agencies and any Co-Op Buyers that elect to participate. Even if only one Eligible Agency needs or elects to purchase against the Contract, it is to be construed as being a “statewide” contract hereunder.
The Contract is an indefinite delivery, indefinite quantity (ID/IQ) type of contract; it is to be construed as a “delivery order” sub-type of ID/IQ contract to the extent the Work is Materials, and a “task order” sub-type to the extent the Work is Services.
4. Contractor shall verify if an ordering entity is a bona fide Co-Op Buyer at time of onboarding onto the Contract before selling Materials to or providing Services for them under the Contract. The current list of Co-Op Buyers is available on the State Procurement Office website:
https://spo.az.gov/procurement-services/cooperative-procurement/state-purchasing-cooperative
5. Contractor shall sell to Co-Op Buyers at the same price and on the same lead times and other terms and conditions under which it sells to Eligible Agencies, with the sole exception of any legitimately additional costs for extraordinary shipping or delivery requirements if the Co-Op Buyer is having Materials delivered or installed or Services performed at locations not contemplated in the contracted pricing (e.g. delivery to a location outside Arizona).
6. Contractor will pay State a quarterly administrative fee against all Contract sales to Purchasing Entity as provided for under A.R.S. § 41-2633. The fee rate is one (1%) percent of the amounts received by the Contractor, less applicable sales tax, returns, credits and adjustments, from the sale of Product (as defined in the Master Agreement #MA 152) on CRU accounts under this Contract. In return, the standard discount provided under the Master Agreement will be reduced by one percent (1%). The Administrative Fee will be paid by EFT or check made to the State of Arizona with the check sent to Arizona Department of Administration, 100 North Fifteenth Avenue Suite 402, Phoenix, Arizona 85007. Reporting and Payment of the Administrative Fee are due to the State no later than forty-five (45) calendar days after the end of the quarter for which the Administrative Fee is owed. Administrative fee payments under any expired predecessor Participating Addendum will be discontinued effective March 31, 2021, provided for the avoidance of doubt, that Contractor will pay all amounts owed for the period ending March 31, 2021. Failure to remit the administrative fees is a material breach of contract, and will entitle State to its remedies under Article 8 and its right to terminate for default under Article 9.
The Usage Report and Administrative Fee Submission schedule is as follows:
https://spo.az.gov/procurement-services/cooperative-procurement/state-purchasing-cooperative
P A G E 12 O F 35
July 1 - September 30 : Due by October 31
October 1 - December 31: Due by January 31
January 1 - March 31: Due by April 30
April 1 - June 30: Due by July 31
7. Contractor shall submit to State a quarterly usage report documenting all Contract sales to both Eligible Agencies and Co-Op Buyers, itemized separately. Contractor shall further itemize divisions, groups or areas within a given Eligible Agency if they place Orders independently of each other. Failure to submit the report is a material breach of contract, and will entitle State to its remedies under Article 8 and its right to terminate for default under Article 9.
8. For purchases made through the Contractor’s MyBiz site, Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Eligible Agencies within 1 (one) business day after receipt by either: (a) “approving” the Order electronically
(b) “rejecting” the Order electronically. If the relevant Eligible Agency explicitly instructs at the time that a verbal acceptance is sufficient because of urgency or other unusual circumstances and Contractor duly gives its verbal acceptance, then Contractor will be deemed to have accepted the Order immediately upon commencing performance, provided that, Contractor must follow-up its verbal acceptance by accepting an Ordering document in a reasonable amount of time. Purchase Orders are subject to Product availability. A PO may be rejected by the Contractor if quoted Products are no longer available when the PO is received. All Purchase Orders issued by Purchasing Entities under this Participating Addendum shall include a reference to this Participating Addendum and the Master Agreement, number MA152.
9. Orders from Co-Op Buyers create no obligation on State’s part, since they are entirely between the Co-Op Buyer and Contractor. That notwithstanding, Contractor’s obligation under the Contract is to service Co-Op Buyers commercially as though they were with an Eligible Agency, and Contractor’s unreasonable refusal to do so would be a material breach of the Contract.
3.14 Multiple-Use Provisions Reserved.
3.15 Other
Contractors
State may undertake with its own forces or award other contracts to the same or other vendors for additional or related work. In such cases, Contractor shall cooperate fully with State’s employees and such other vendors and carefully coordinate, fit, connect, accommodate, adjust, or sequence its work to the related work by others.
Where the Contract requires handing-off Contractor’s work to others, Contractor shall cooperate as State instructs regarding the necessary transfer of its work product, services, or records to State or the other vendors.
Contractor shall not commit or permit any act that interferes with the State’s or other vendors’ performance of their work, provided that, State shall enforce the foregoing section equitably among all its vendors so as not impose an unreasonable burden on any one of them.
3.16 Work on State Premises
3.17 Non-Exclusive Contract
3.16.1 COMPLIANCE WITH RULES. Contractor is responsible for ensuring that its personnel comply with State’s rules, regulations, policies, documented practices, and documented operating procedures while delivering or installing Materials or performing Services on State’s grounds or in its facilities. For clarity of intent, the foregoing means that if Contractor is required to comply with certain security requirements in order to deliver, install, or perform at that particular location, then it shall do so nonetheless and without entitlement to any additional compensation or additional time for performance if those particular requirements are not expressly stated in the Contract. Contractor is reminded that violation of the prohibition under A.R.S. § 13-1502 against possession of weapons on State’s property by anyone for whom Contractor is responsible is a material breach of contract and grounds for termination for default.
3.16.2 PROTECTION OF GROUNDS AND FACILITIES. As required to fulfill an Order, Contractor shall deliver or install the Materials and perform the Services without damaging any State grounds or facilities.
Contractor shall repair or replace any damage it does cause promptly and at its own expense, subject to whatever instructions and restrictions State needs to make to prevent inconvenience or disruption of operations. If Contractor fails to make the necessary repairs or replacements and do so in a timely manner, State will be entitled to exercise its remedies under paragraph 8.5 [Right of Offset].
P A G E 13 O F 35
This contract has been awarded with the understanding and agreement that it is for the sole convenience of the State of Arizona. The State reserves the right to obtain like goods or services from another source when necessary. Off-contract purchase authorization(s) may be approved by the State Procurement Office. Approvals shall be at the exclusive discretion of the State and shall be final. Off-contract procurement shall be consistent with the Arizona Procurement Code.
4.0 Costs and Payments
4.1 Payments 4.1.1 PAYMENT DEADLINE. State shall make payments in compliance with Arizona Revised Statutes Titles 35 and 41. Unless and then only to the extent expressly stated otherwise in the Pricing Document, State shall make payment in full for Materials that have been delivered and accepted and Services that have been performed and accepted within the time specified in A.R.S. § 35-342 after both of the following become true: (a) all of the Materials being invoiced have been delivered or installed (as applicable) and accepted and all of the Services being invoiced have been performed and accepted; and (b) Contractor has provided a complete and accurate invoice in the form and manner called for in the Pricing Document, provided that, State will not make or be liable for any payments to Contractor until Contractor has provided a current IRS Form W-9 to State unless excused by law from providing one.
4.1.2 PAYMENTS ONLY TO CONTRACTOR. Unless compelled otherwise by operation of law or order of a court of competent jurisdiction, State will only make payment to Contractor under the federal tax identifier indicated on the Accepted Offer.
4.2 Applicable
Taxes
4.2.1 CONTRACTOR TO PAY ALL TAXES. Unless otherwise exempt, State is subject to Arizona TPT. Therefore, Arizona TPT applies to all sales under the Contract and Arizona TPT is Contractor’s responsibility (as seller) to remit. Contractor’s failure to collect Arizona TPT or any other applicable sales or use taxes from an Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer (as buyer) will not relieve Contractor of any obligation to remit sales or use taxes that are due under the Contract or laws. Unless stated otherwise in the Pricing Document, all prices therein are exclusive of Arizona TPT, as well as any other tax, fee or surcharge as well as every other manner of transaction privilege or sales/use tax that is due to a municipality or another state or its political subdivisions which will be added to Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer’s invoice. Contractor shall pay all applicable federal, state, and local taxes applicable to its operations and personnel.
4.2.2 TAX INDEMNITY. Contractor shall hold State harmless from any responsibility for collecting and remitting taxes or contributions, including any applicable damages and interest, that are due to federal, state, and local authorities with respect to the Work and the Contract, as well any related costs; the foregoing expressly includes Arizona TPT, unemployment compensation insurance, social security, and workers’ compensation insurance.
5.0 Contract Changes
5.1 Contract Amendments The Contract is issued for State under the authority of Procurement Officer. Only a Contract Amendment can modify the Contract, and then only if it does not change the Contract’s general scope. Purported changes to the Contract by a person not expressly authorized by Procurement Officer or made unilaterally by Contractor will be void and without effect; Contractor will not be entitled to any claim made under the Contract based on any such purported changes.
5.2 Assignment and Delegation 5.2.1 IN WHOLE. Contractor shall not assign in whole its rights or delegate in whole its duties under the Contract without Procurement Officer’s prior written consent, which should not be unreasonably withheld. If Contractor’s proposed assignment or delegation stems from a split, sale, acquisition, or other non-merger change in control, then no such consent will be given in any event without the assignee or delegate giving State satisfactory and equivalent evidence or assurance of its financial soundness, competency, capacity, and qualification to perform as that which Contractor possessed when State first awarded it the Contract.
5.2.2 IN PART. Subject to paragraph 3.10 [Subcontracts] with respect to subcontracting, Contractor may assign particular rights or delegate particular duties under the Contract, but shall obtain Procurement
P A G E 14 O F 35
Officer’s written consent before doing so. Procurement Officer shall not unreasonably withhold consent so long as the proposed assignment or delegation does not attempt to modify the Contract in any way or to alter or impair State’s rights or remedies under the Contract or laws.
