Such disclosures are protected under Section 537 of the State Labor Law, which makes it a misdemeanor for the recipient of such information to use or disclose the information for any purpose other than the performing due diligence as a part of the approval process for the Contract.

K. Vendor Responsibility: The Contractor hereby acknowledges that the State Vendor Responsibility Questionnaire (Questionnaire) and certification are made part of this Contract and that any misrepresentation of fact in the Questionnaire and attachments, or in any Contractor responsibility information that may be requested by the State, may result in termination of this Contract. The Contractor shall at all times during the contract term remain responsible. During the term of this Contract, any changes in the provided Questionnaire shall be disclosed to the State Agency, in writing, in a timely manner. Failure to make such disclosure may result in a determination of non- responsibility and termination of this Contract. Furthermore, the Contractor agrees, if requested by the State, it must present evidence of its continuing legal authority to do business in New York State, its integrity, experience, ability, prior performance, and organizational and financial capacity. The State, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to make a final determination of non-responsibility at any time during the term of the Contract, based on any information provided in the Questionnaire and/or any updates, clarifications, or amendments thereof; and/or when it discovers information that calls into question the responsibility of the Contractor. Prior to making a final determination of non- responsibility, the State shall provide written notice to the Contractor that it has made a preliminary determination of non-responsibility. The State shall detail the reason(s) for the preliminary determination, and shall provide the Contractor with an opportunity to be heard. The State reserves the right to suspend any or all activities under this Contract, upon discovery of such information warranting review of responsibility. In the event of such suspension, the Contractor will be given written notice outlining the particulars of such suspension. Upon issuance of such notice, the Contractor must comply with the terms of the suspension order. Contract activity may resume at such time as the State issues a written notice authorizing a resumption of performance under this Contract. L.
