About this file

This is an Executive Order No. 16 certification document issued by the State of New York requiring vendors to certify their business operations in Russia for state contracting purposes. The certification applies to the New York State Department of Transportation's solicitation for the purchase of one portable screener and one remote-controlled tracked skid steer for NYSDOT Region 6. Vendors must complete and submit the certification form as part of their bid package, answering whether they conduct business operations in Russia as defined by the Executive Order. The solicitation is designated as BA26-010, and interested bidders can request the Invitation for Bid (IFB) and complete bid package materials by contacting the NYSDOT Purchasing Office at (518) 457-4401 or via email at Purch-Assist@dot.ny.gov.

The certification requires vendors to select one of four options: confirming no business operations in Russia; confirming operations but with an active wind-down plan; confirming operations limited to vital health and safety services or federal compliance; or confirming ongoing business operations in Russia. Vendors who may be excluded from award due to current Russian operations are nevertheless encouraged to respond to preserve future contracting opportunities in the event sanctions are lifted. The certification must be executed under penalties of perjury by a person knowledgeable about the vendor's business operations. Executive Order No. 16 remains in effect while federal sanctions against Russia persist, and all affected state entities are prohibited from entering into new contracts or renewing existing contracts with entities conducting business operations in Russia.
