Some key points to consider:
* The contract will be funded with non-appropriated funds, so HUB/VetHUB is not applicable.
* The selected vendor will be required to submit a Certification of Interested Parties.
* The contract will include a provision for termination if the vendor is found to be in violation of any of the certifications.
* The vendor will be required to disclose any conflicts of interest and to certify that they are not barred from responding to the solicitation or being awarded a state contract.
