The state has issued an amendment to the previous COVID-19 protection requirements for contractors, recognizing that subsequent Executive Orders have superseded the previous order and extended the date by which certain contractors must become vaccinated. All state agencies are required to include the amended COVID-19 Protections clause in all solicitations, which mandates that contractors adhere to the requirements of the updated Executive Orders regarding the use of face coverings, COVID-19 vaccinations, or testing when in certain indoor public places, health care facilities, schools, institutions of higher education, and state-owned and operated congregate facilities. Agencies may also implement additional vaccination or testing requirements that exceed those in the Executive Orders.
