2.1.6. 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. Contract Order of Precedence
2.2.1. 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.
2.2.2. 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.

2.2.2.1. Contract Amendments;
2.2.2.2. The final Solicitation Documents, in the following 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) Specifications; and
(7) Any other documents referenced or included in the
Solicitation;
2.2.2.3. Orders, in reverse chronological order; and
2.2.2.4. Accepted Offer.
2.2.3. 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.
3. Contract Administration and Operation
3.1. Term of Contract. The term of the Contract will commence on the date indicated on the Acceptance and continue for twelve (12) months unless canceled, terminated, or permissibly extended.
3.2. Contract Extensions. State may at its discretion extend the initial Contract term in increments of one (1) or more months and do so one or more times, provided that the maximum aggregate term of the Contract including extensions cannot exceed the maximum aggregate term of five (5) years.

State shall address all Contract correspondence other than formal notices to the email address indicated as “Default for Type” for “General Mailing Address” in Contractor’s corresponding State’s eProcurement System Vendor Profile; and address any required notices to Contractor to the “Contact Name and Title” at the “Mailing Address” indicated on the Accepted Offer, as that address might have been amended during the term of the Contract.

Contractor shall address all Contract correspondence other than formal notices to the email address indicated in “Contact Instructions” in the State’s eProcurement System Summary for State; and address any required notices to State via email to the Procurement Officer identified as “Purchaser” in the State’s eProcurement System and via mail to the following mailing address:

3.3.3. Changes. State may change the designated Procurement Officer, update contact information, or change the applicable mailing address.
3.4. Signing of Contract Amendments. Contractor’s counter-signature (or “approval” in the State’s eProcurement System, in the case of an amendment) is not required to give effect if the Contract Amendment only covers either:
3.4.1. extension of the term of the Contract within the maximum aggregate term; or
3.4.2. modifications of a clerical nature that have no effect on terms, conditions, price, scope, or other material aspect of the Contract.
In every case other than those listed in 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 above, both parties’ signatures (or “approval” in the State’s eProcurement System in the case of an Amendment) are required to give it effect.
3.5. Click-through Terms and Conditions. If either party uses a web-based ordering system, an electronic purchase order system, an electronic order acknowledgement, a form of an electronic acceptance, or any software based ordering system with respect to the Contract (each an “Electronic Ordering System”), the parties acknowledge and agree that an Electronic Ordering System is for ease of administration only, and Contractor is hereby

Accordingly, where an authorized State user is required to “click through” or otherwise accept or be made subject to any terms and conditions in using an Electronic Ordering System, any such terms and conditions are deemed void upon presentation. Additionally, where an authorized State user is required to accept or be made subject to any terms and conditions in accessing or employing any Materials or Services, those terms and conditions will also be void.
3.6. Books and Records
3.6.1. Retain Records. In addition to the audit rights detailed in the Uniform Terms and Conditions, State also requires that, pursuant to A.R.S. § 41-2548(B), Contractor shall retain and shall contractually require each Subcontractor to retain books and records relating to any cost and pricing Data submitted in satisfaction of § 41-2543 for the period specified in the statute.
3.6.2. Usage Information. Additionally, any and all information (including, but not limited to, documentation or Data) related to Eligible Agency and Co-Op Buyer usage retained solely within the Contractor’s system (for example, related to punch-out or Contractor catalog sales) shall be considered public information or information that can be shared with and distributed by the State freely and for any purpose under the State’s government purpose rights detailed in Section 3 of the Uniform Terms and Conditions [Ownership of Intellectual Property]. Any modifications to this Contract notwithstanding, the State shall have free use of any and all information related to Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer purchasing. Upon request by the State, Contractor shall promptly provide the State with any usage information requested and shall not attempt to limit the State's use in any way.
3.6.3. Right To Audit. The retained books and records are subject to audit by State during that period. Pursuant to 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.
3.6.4. 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

3.7. Subcontract
3.7.1. Initial list. At the time of Contract execution, Contractor’s candidate Subcontractors were identified in Attachment Proposed Subcontractors to the Accepted Offer [Proposed Subcontractors]. Agreeing to them being included in the Accepted Offer signified Procurement Officer’s advance consent for Contractor to enter into a Subcontract with each candidate, which Contractor shall do as promptly as necessary to ensure its ability to carry out the Work in a timely manner.
3.7.2. Additional names. Contractor shall not enter into a Subcontract to perform Work under the Contract, without first obtaining Procurement Officer’s written consent with any prospective Subcontractor that (a) was not listed on the Attachment Proposed Subcontractors at time of Contract execution or (b) is for any Materials or Services categories other than the ones for which they were previously consented. For either case (a) or (b), Contractor shall submit a written request sufficiently in advance of the need date for those materials or services so that performance under the Contract is not impaired. Procurement Officer may request any additional information he or she determines is necessary to assess the submittal, and may withhold consent pending it.
Approval of additional subcontractors shall be added to the Contract by a bilateral Contract Amendment.
3.7.3. Flow-down. Contractor shall incorporate the 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.
3.8. Orders
3.8.1. Order Sufficiency. The Contract was awarded in accordance with the Arizona Procurement Code; the transactions and procedures required by the Arizona Procurement Code for competitive source selection have been met. An Order issued that cites the correct State contract number will suffice to authorize the

Contractor to provide the Materials and perform the Services covered by that Order.
3.8.2. Order Terms. All Orders are subject to the Contract Terms and Conditions; an Order cannot modify the Contract Terms and Conditions. Any Contractor terms added to quotes or otherwise unilaterally added to Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer Orders are null and void.
3.8.3. 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, 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.
3.8.4. 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.
3.8.5. Non-contracted Materials or Services. Any attempt to knowingly represent for sales, marketing, or related purposes that Materials or Services not specifically awarded are under a State contract is a violation of the Contract and law.
3.9. Order Cancellations. State may cancel Orders within a reasonable period after issuance and at its discretion. The same method used for ordering will be used for cancellation.
3.9.1. If State cancels an Order, then State shall:
3.9.1.1. pay Contractor for any portion of the Materials and Services from that Order that have been properly delivered or performed as of the cancellation effective date; and
3.9.1.2. reimburse Contractor for actual, documented costs incurred in fulfilling the Order up to the cancellation effective date and the cost of any obligations incurred in fulfilling the Order up to the cancellation effective date that demonstrably cannot be canceled

3.9.2. Contractor shall not charge or be entitled to charge State for any new costs it incurs after receiving the cancellation notice; State is not liable for any Materials that were produced, shipped, or delivered, or Services that were performed before Contractor had acknowledged the corresponding Order.
3.9.3. State shall also be able to cancel Orders freely and without any further obligation at any time prior to Contractor’s formal acknowledgement of the Order.
3.10. The Contract is a mandatory statewide contract (per A.A.C. R2-7-607) for multiple purchases, projects, or assignments, and a cooperative contract (per A.R.S. § 41-2632 and A.A.C. R2-7-1002(B)) that can be purchased against by some or all Eligible Agencies and any Co‑Op Buyers that elect to participate. Even if only one E ligible Agency needs or elects to purchase against the Contract, it is to be construed as being a cooperative contract hereunder.
3.10.1. Contractor shall verify if an ordering entity is a current Co-Op Buyer 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/suppliers/usage-reporting
3.10.2. 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).
3.10.3. Contractor shall pay State an administrative fee against all Contract sales to Co‑Op Buyers, as provided for under A.R.S . § 41‑ 2633. Rates are set in accordance with SPO Technical Bulletin (TB) 007, available on the SPO website, which may be revised at the State’s sole discretion as part of Arizona state procurement policy. For convenience (though note that this link may change over time) TB 007 may be found here:

Failure to remit the administrative fees is a material breach of contract, and will entitle the State to its remedies under Contract Terms and Conditions Section 8 and its right to terminate for default under Section 9. Method of calculation, payment procedures, and other details are provided on the State Procurement Office website:
https://spo.az.gov/suppliers/usage-reporting.
3.10.4. 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 the State to its remedies under Contract Terms and Conditions Section 8 and its right to terminate for default under Section 9. Contractor shall submit the report using the forms and following the instructions on the State Procurement Office website:
https://spo.az.gov/suppliers/usage-reporting.
3.10.5. Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Eligible Agencies within one (1) business day after receipt by either: (a) “approving” the Order electronically in the State’s eProcurement System, which will indicate Contractor’s unqualified acceptance of the Order as‑issued; or (b) “rejecting” the Order electronically in the State’s eProcurement System, with a concurrent explanation by email to relevant originator as to the reason for rejecting it. By way of reminder, the only grounds on which the Contractor may reject or refuse an Order are those set out in subparagraph 3.8.3 [Orders are Obligatory]. Unless and until Contractor has approved the Order in the State’s eProcurement System, it will have no effect under the Contract and will not oblige either State or Contractor. 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 the Purchase Order electronically in the State’s eProcurement System within three
(3) business days. Contractor shall thereafter be barred from subsequently rejecting the Order in the State’s eProcurement System and if it does so the rejection will be void.
