NPF for Abortion Letter Sample.docx

This is a compliance notification letter issued by the Idaho Department of Juvenile Corrections (IDJC) regarding the state's No Public Funds for Abortion Act. The letter serves as the final step in the department's internal compliance process and is addressed to a vendor in connection with a procurement agreement for crash pads and wrestling mats. The letter informs the vendor that all State of Idaho agencies, including IDJC, are subject to the No Public Funds for Abortion Act, which establishes penalties against state employees who intentionally enter into agreements with abortion providers or their affiliates, or who authorize the use of state facilities or public funds for abortion-related activities. The department requests that the vendor acknowledge receipt of the letter and respond by the specified deadline (5 p.m. Mountain time on the date indicated) to jason.urquhart@idjc.idaho.gov if the vendor has any additional information the department should consider under the Act.

The letter clarifies that no penalties under the Act apply to the vendor and that, at the time of writing, the department has no information that would prevent finalization of the agreement. The vendor is required to sign and return the letter as acknowledgment of receipt, providing printed name, title, and date. Contact information is provided for questions or clarification, with Purchasing Agent Jason R. Urquhart available at 208-577-5426. This compliance letter is a standard procedural requirement for state procurement in Idaho and does not impose financial, set-aside, or contractual modifications on the underlying procurement agreement.
