The EO directs state agencies to terminate contracts with, and to refrain from entering any new contracts with, individuals or entities that are determined to be a target of Economic Sanctions. Accordingly, should the State determine Contractor is a target of Economic Sanctions or is conducting prohibited transactions with sanctioned individuals or entities, that shall be grounds for termination of this agreement. The State shall provide Contractor advance written notice of such termination, allowing Contractor at least 30 calendar days to provide a written response. Termination shall be at the sole discretion of the State.

Protest of Proposed Award: A protest of proposed award is a challenge conducted under PCC 10306 by a participating bidder against the proposed contract award of a non-IT goods contract or purchase order. Prior to award, any bidder who has submitted a bid may file a protest with the department against the awarding of the purchase order on the grounds that he or she is the lowest responsible bidder meeting specifications. When a purchase order is not to be awarded to the lowest bidder, the bidder must be notified 24 hours prior to awarding the purchase order.

Breaking Tie Bids: Buyers will settle tie bids through a coin toss, performed by the buyer with at least one witness. The witness will assign the tied bidders either heads or tails, while the buyer flips the coin. The date of the coin toss, the vendor assignments, the witness and the result will be documented in the procurement file. In the event of a precise tie between a SB/MB, and a DVBE who is also a SB/MB, the award shall go to the DVBE that is also a SB/MB.

5. Is responsible, with respect to products, inventories, materials, and supplies required for the contract, for negotiating price, determining quality and quantity, ordering, installing, if applicable, and making payment.

A contractor, subcontractor, or supplier will not be considered to perform a commercially useful function if the contractor's, subcontractor's, or supplier's role is limited to that of an extra participant in a transaction, contract, or project through which funds are passed through solely to be qualified to submit a proposal or awarded the contract.

GENERATIVE ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (GenAI) Disclosure

The State of California seeks to realize the potential benefits of GenAI, through the development and deployment of GenAI tools, while balancing the risks of these new technologies.

Bidder / Offeror must notify the State in writing if it: (1) intends to provide GenAI as a deliverable to the State; or (2), intends to utilize GenAI, including GenAI from third parties, to complete all or a portion of any deliverable that materially impacts: (i) functionality of a State system, (ii) risk to the State, or (iii) Contract performance. For avoidance of doubt, the term “materially impacts” shall have the meaning set forth in State Administrative Manual (SAM) § 4986.2 Definitions for GenAI.

Failure to report GenAI to the State may result in disqualification. The State reserves the right to seek any and all relief to which it may be entitled to as a result of such non-disclosure.

Upon notification by a Bidder / Offeror of GenAI as required, the State reserves the right to incorporate GenAI Special Provisions into the final contract or reject bids/offers that present an unacceptable level of risk to the State.

Government Code 11549.64 defines “Generative Artificial Intelligence (GenAI)” as an artificial intelligence system that can generate derived synthetic content, including text, images, video, and audio that emulates the structure and characteristics of the system’s training data.
