Under New York State Finance Law § 139-k(2), covered governmental entities are obligated to obtain specific information regarding prior non-responsibility determinations. This information must be collected in addition to the information that is separately obtained pursuant to State Finance Law § 163(9). In accordance with State Finance Law § 139-k, an Offeror must be asked to disclose whether there has been a finding of non-responsibility made within the previous four (4) years by a Government Entity due to: (a) a violation of State Finance Law § 139-j or (b) the intentional provision of false or incomplete information to a Government Entity. The terms “Offeror” and “Governmental Entity” are defined in State Finance Law § 139-k(1).

A violation of State Finance Law § 139-j includes, but is not limited to, an impermissible Contact during the restricted period (for example, contacting a person or entity other than the designated contact person, when such Contact does not fall within one of the exemptions).
As part of its responsibility determination, a covered governmental entity must consider whether an Offeror fails to timely disclose accurate or complete information regarding the above non-responsibility determination. In accordance with law, no Procurement Contract shall be awarded to any Offeror that fails to timely disclose accurate or complete information under this section, unless a finding is made that the award of the Procurement Contract to the Offeror is necessary to protect public property or public health safety, and that the Offeror is the only source capable of supplying the required Article of Procurement within the necessary timeframe.
