About this file
This file contains a Gender-Based Violence and the Workplace Certification form required by New York State Finance Law 139-M for bidders on competitive state procurements, as applied to a Request for Quote issued by the New York State Police for the purchase of five Ski-Doo Expedition Sport 900 ACE snowmobiles. All bidders must complete and submit the attached attestation certifying that their organization has implemented a written policy addressing gender-based violence and the workplace. The certification requires that bidders' policies meet four minimum standards: providing accessible information about gender-based violence and displaying hotline information and workplace posters; referring employee-survivors to the New York State Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline or local service providers; prohibiting discrimination or retaliation against employees who identify as victims or survivors of gender-based violence; and ensuring compliance with applicable state laws including the SAFE Leave Act and New York State Human Rights Law. The form must be signed by an authorized executive or legal representative. Quotes must be submitted to NYSPPurchasing@troopers.ny.gov with the subject line "2027 Ski-Doo Expedition 900 ACE" and itemized to show unit price per item with shipping charges as a separate line item.
Bidders unable to make the required certification must submit a signed statement with their bid explaining in detail the reasons for non-compliance. The NYSP intends to make a one-time purchase from the manufacturer, authorized reseller, or authorized distributor offering the lowest quote. In the event of a tie for lowest total cost, the NYSP will apply a priority-based tiebreaker system, with the first criterion being selection of the bidder offering the higher discount. Substitutions are not accepted; quoted items must match the attached product description exactly. For questions regarding the gender-based violence certification, bidders may contact the New York State Office for the Prevention of Domestic Violence at workplace@opdv.ny.gov, which also offers technical assistance to employers in developing and implementing compliant policies.

Gender-Based Violence and the Workplace Certification
New York State Finance Law §139-M requires bidders on competitive state procurements to certify that they have a written policy addressing gender-based violence and the workplace and that such policy meets the following minimum requirements:
● Share Information: Employers must provide information regarding gender-based violence where employees can see and access it, including displaying the NYS Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline information and a gender-based violence and the workplace poster.
● Refer Employee-Survivors to Services: The policy must require that the employer refer employees who disclose current or past victim status to the NYS Domestic and Sexual Violence Hotline and/or a local service provider. For bidders outside of New York State, referrals should be made to a local provider or statewide hotline. While referrals are required to be provided by the employer, it is not required for the employee to access services.
● Prohibit Retaliation: The policy must clearly state that discrimination or retaliation against employees who identify as victims or survivors of gender-based violence is prohibited.
● Comply with Laws: Ensure your policy follows State law. For employers based in New York State, this means that the policy must follow the SAFE Leave Act, New York State Human Rights Law, and any other relevant laws and regulations.
● Offer Implementation Support: OPDV is able to assist employers in developing and implementing this policy. Employers must provide information to supervisors and human resources, where available, about this technical assistance from OPDV. OPDV can be contacted at workplace@opdv.ny.gov.
By submission of this certification, each person signing on behalf of any organization certifies, and in the case of a joint submission each party thereto certifies its own organization, under penalty of perjury, that they have and have implemented a written policy addressing gender-based violence and the workplace.
