Bidder/Offeror/Contractor must notify the State in writing if their solution or service includes, or makes available, any GenAI including, GenAI from third parties or subcontractors.

The State has developed a GenAI Reporting and Factsheet (STD 1000) to be completed by the Bidder/Offeror/Contractor.
