Participating Addendum, subject to the consent of the Chief Procurement Official of the
state where the entity is located. Coordinate requests for such participation through
NASPO ValuePoint. Any permission to participate through execution of a Participating
Addendum is not a determination that procurement authority exists; the entity must
ensure that they have the requisite procurement authority to execute a Participating
Addendum.
1.6.7

Subject to any specific conditions included in the solicitation or Contractor’s proposal as
accepted by the Lead State, or as explicitly permitted in a Participating Addendum,

payments by employees of a Purchasing Entity for Products; sales of Products to the
general public as surplus property; and fees associated with inventory transactions with
other governmental or nonprofit entities and consistent with a Purchasing Entity’s laws
and regulations. Any sale or transfer permitted by this subsection must be consistent with

by Purchasing Entities outside the jurisdiction of the state requesting the
additional fee.

Contract Interpretations
2.1
Usage. Where the Contract:
2.1.1
assigns obligations to Contractor, any reference to "Contractor" is to be construed to be a
reference to the Contractor and all Subcontractors, whether they are first-tier
Subcontractors, sub-subcontractors, suppliers, sub-suppliers, consultants, or sub-
consultants, as well as all of Contractor's and the Subcontractor's respective agents,
representatives, and employees in every instance unless the context plainly requires that
it is a reference only to Contractor as apart from Subcontractors.
2.1.2
uses the permissive "may" with respect to a party's actions, determinations, etc., the
terms is to be interpreted as in A.A.C. R2-7-101{32) [Definitions] . For clarity of intent, any
right given to State using "State may'' or a like construction denotes discretion and
freedom to act so far as any regulatory or operative constraints permit in the relevant
circumstances, provided that: (a) where written "may, at its discretion," the discretion

extends to whatever is most advantageous to State; and (b) where written only as "may,"
the discretion is constrained by what is fair, reasonable, and as accommodating of the
respective best interests of both parties as practicable under the circumstances;
2.1.3
uses the imperative "shall" with respect to a party's actions, duties, etc., the term is to be
interpreted as in A.A.C. R2-7-101(44) [Definitions]. Conversely, the phrase "shall not" is to
be interpreted as an imperative prohibition.
2.1.4
uses the term "must" with respect to a requirement, criterion, etc., the term is to be
interpreted as conveying compulsion or strict necessity;
2.1.5
uses the term "might" with respect to an event, outcome, action, etc., the term is to be
interpreted as conveying contingency or non-discretionary conditionality; and
2.1.6
uses the term "will" or the phrases "is to be" or "are to be" with respect to an event,
outcome, action, etc., the term or phrase is to be interpreted as conveying such certainty
or imperativeness that "shall" is either unnecessary or irrelevant in that instance.
2.2
Contract Order of Precedence
2.2.1
Complementary Documents. All
of the documents forming the Contract are
complementary. If certain work, requirements, obligations, or duties are set out only in
one but not in another, Contractor shall carry out the Work as though the relevant Work,

other documents forming the Contract and as is reasonably inferable from them as being
necessary to produce complete results.
2.2.2
Conflicts. In case of any inconsistency, conflict, or ambiguity among the documents
forming the Contract and their provisions, they are to prevail in the following order,
descending from most dominate to most subordinate, provided that, among categories of
documents or provisions having the same rank, the document or provision with the latest
date prevails. Information being identified in one document, but not in another, is not to
be considered a conflict or inconsistency.

to create legally binding obligations that vary from the terms and conditions of the Contract.
Accordingly, where an authorized State user is required to "click through" or otherwise accept or
be made subject to any terms and conditions in using an Electronic Ordering System, any such

relating to any cost and pricing data submitted in satisfaction of§ 41-2543 for the period
specified in the statute.
3.6.2
Usage Information. Additionally, any and all information (including, but not limited to,
documentation or Data) related to Eligible Agency and Co-Op Buyer usage retained solely

rights detailed in Section 3 of the Uniform Terms and Conditions [Ownership of

have free use of any and all information related to Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer
purchasing. Upon request by the State, Contractor shall promptly provide the State with

them being included signified Procurement Officer's advance consent for Contractor to
enter into a Subcontract with each candidate, which Contractor shall do as promptly as
necessary to ensure its ability to carry out the Work in a timely manner.
3.7.2
Additional names. Contractor shall not enter into a Subcontract to perform Work under
the Contract, without first obtaining Procurement Officer's written consent with any
prospective Subcontractor that (a) was not listed on the Attachment Proposed
Subcontractors at time of Contract execution or (b) is for any Materials or Services
categories other than the ones for which they were previously consented. For either case
(a) or (b), Contractor shall submit a written request sufficiently in advance of the need
date for those materials or services so that performance under the Contract is not
impaired. Procurement Officer may request any additional information he or she
determines is necessary to assess the submittal, and may withhold consent pending it.
Approval of additional subcontractors shall be added to the Contract by a bilateral
Contract Amendment.

Flow-down. Contractor shall incorporate the provisions, terms, and conditions of the
Contract into every Subcontract by inclusion or by reference, as appropriate. When
making any post-execution consent requests, Contractor shall include its warrant that it
will do the same for the pending Subcontracts covered by the request. Entering into
Subcontracts will not relieve Contractor of any of its obligations or duties under the
Contract, including, among other things, the duty to supervise and coordinate the work of
Subcontractors. Nothing contained in any Subcontract will create or is to be construed as
creating any contractual relationship between State and the Subcontractor.
3.8
Orders
3.8.1
Order Sufficiency. The Contract was awarded in accordance with the Arizona Procurement
Code; the transactions and procedures required by the Arizona Procurement Code for
competitive source selection have been met. An Order issued that cites the correct State
contract number will suffice to authorize the Contractor to provide the Materials and
perform the Services covered by that Order.
3.8.2
Order Terms. All Orders are subject to the Contract Terms and Conditions; an Order
cannot modify the Contract Terms and Conditions. Any Contractor terms added to quotes

or otherwise unilaterally added to Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer Orders are null and
void.
3.8.3
Orders are Obligatory. Until the expiration or earlier termination of the Contract, State
may issue and Contractor shall accept Orders that make proper reference to the Contract
and are permissible hereunder, provided that, Contractor is not obliged to accept any
Order that is not consistent with the then-current pricing, lead times, specifications, or
payment provisions of the Contract. Contractor shall fulfill and complete any Orders that
are begun but not yet completed as of expiration or earlier termination of the Contract
unless State instructs otherwise at the time.

amount, item count, services volume, or services duration on Orders; (b) State makes no
commitment of any kind concerning the quantity or monetary value of activity actually
initiated or completed during the term of the Contract; (c) Contractor shall only deliver or
perform as authorized by Orders; and (d) State is not limited as to the number of Orders it
may issue for the Contract. For clarity of intent, the foregoing applies equally whether an
Eligible Agency issues the Order or, if applicable, a Co-Op Buyer issues it.
3.8.5
Non-contracted Materials or Services. Any attempt to knowingly represent for sales,
marketing, or related purposes that Materials or Services not specifically awarded are
under a State contract is a violation of the Contract and law.

discretion. The same method used for ordering will be used for cancellation.
3.9.1
If State cancels an Order, then State shall:

3.9.1.2
pay Contractor for any portion of the Materials and Services from that Order
that have been properly delivered or performed as of the cancellation

penalties specified in the relevant Subcontracts, to the extent the penalties
are reasonable and customary for the work in question.
3.9.2
Contractor shall not charge or be entitled to charge State for any new costs it incurs after
receiving the cancellation notice; State is not liable for any Materials that were produced,
shipped, or delivered, or Services that were performed before Contractor had
acknowledged the corresponding Order.
3.9.3
State shall also be able to cancel Orders freely and without any further obligation at any
time prior to Contractor's formal acknowledgement of the Order.
3.10
The Contract is a mandatory statewide contract (per A.A.C. R2-7-607) for multiple purchases,
projects, or assignments, and a cooperative contract (per A.R.S.
§ 41-2632 and A.A.C. R2-7-
1002(B)) that can be purchased against by some or all Eligible Agencies and any Co-Op Buyers that
elect to participate. Even if only one Eligible Agency needs or elects to purchase against the
Contract, it is to be construed as being a cooperative contract hereunder.
3.10.1 Contractor shall verify if an ordering entity is a current Co-Op Buyer before selling
Materials to or providing Services for them under the Contract. The current list of Co-Op
Buyers is available on the State Procurement Office website:
https:ljspo.az.gov/suppliers/usage-reporting
3.10.2 Contractor shall sell to Co-Op Buyers at the same price and on the same lead times and
other terms and conditions under which it sells to Eligible Agencies, with the sole
exception of any legitimately additional costs for extraordinary shipping or delivery
requirements if the Co-Op Buyer is having Materials delivered or installed or Services
performed at locations not contemplated in the contracted pricing (e.g. delivery to a
location outside Arizona).
3.10.3 Contractor shall pay State an administrative fee against all Contract sales to Co-Op Buyers,
as provided for under A.R.S. § 41-2633. The fee rate prior to January 1, 2024, is one (1.5%)
percent. Rates are set in accordance with SPO Technical Bulletin (TB) 007, available on the

Failure to remit the administrative fees is a material breach of contract, and will entitle the
State to its remedies under Contract Terms and Conditions Section 8 and its right to
terminate for default under Section 9. Method of calculation, payment procedures, and
other details are provided on the State Procurement Office website:
https://spo.az.gov/suppliers/usage-reporting
3.10.4 Contractor shall submit to State a quarterly usage report documenting all Contract sales to
both Eligible Agencies and Co-Op Buyers, itemized separately. Contractor shall further
itemize divisions, groups or areas within a given Eligible Agency if they place Orders
independently of each other. Failure to submit the report is a material breach of contract,
and will entitle the State to its remedies under Contract Terms and Conditions Section 8
and its right to terminate for default under Section 9. Contractor shall submit the report
using the forms and following the instructions on the State Procurement Office website:
https://spo.az.gov/suppliers/usage-reporting.
3.10.5 Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Eligible Agencies within one (1) business
day after receipt by either: (a) "approving" the Order electronically in the State's
eProcurement System, which will indicate Contractor's unqualified acceptance of the
Order as-issued; or (b) "rejecting" the Order electronically in the State's eProcurement
System, with a concurrent explanation by email to relevant originator as to the reason for
rejecting it. By way of reminder, the only grounds on which the Contractor may reject or
refuse an Order are those set out in subparagraph 3.8.3 [Orders are Obligatory]. Unless
and until Contractor has approved the Order in the State's eProcurement System, it will
have no effect under the Contract and will not oblige either State or Contractor. If the
relevant Eligible Agency explicitly instructs at the time that a verbal acceptance is
sufficient because of urgency or other unusual circumstances and Contractor duly gives its
verbal acceptance, then Contractor will be deemed to have accepted the Order
immediately upon commencing performance, provided that, Contractor must follow-up its
verbal acceptance by accepting the Purchase Order electronically in the State's
eProcurement System within three (3) business days. Contractor shall thereafter be

barred from subsequently rejecting the Order in the State's eProcurement System and if it
does so the rejection will be void.
3.10.6 Contractor shall acknowledge each Order from Co-Op Buyers in conformance with each
Co-Op Buyer's instructions given at the time of ordering or in any supplemental
participating agreement Contractor might have with them. Orders from Co-Op Buyers
create no obligation on State's part, since they are entirely between the Co-Op Buyer and
Contractor. That notwithstanding, Contractor's obligation under the Contract is to service
Co-Op Buyers commercially as though they were with an Eligible Agency, and Contractor's
refusal to do so would be a material breach of the Contract.
3.11
Multiple-Use Provisions. Eligible Agencies may issue Orders for Services in several forms, all of
which become final and effective by a Purchase Order in the State's eProcurement System. Orders
issued by Co-Op Buyers will be in whatever form the Co-Op Buyer normally uses. Regardless of
origin, Orders must cite the State contract number to be valid. State may, at its discretion in each
instance, determine the scope, schedule, and price for each Order in any of the following ways:
3.11.1 By choosing some or all of the Materials or Services items covered by the Contract for
which a price is established in the Contract, then preparing an Order using those prices
(e.g. filling out an order form), and sending it to the Contractor;
3.11.2 Prices are set in the Master Agreement.
3.11.3 Prices are set in the Master Agreement.
3.11.4 Prices are set in the Master Agreement.
3.12
Work on State Premises
3.12.1 Compliance With Rules. Contractor is responsible for ensuring that its personnel comply
with State's rules, regulations, policies, documented practices, and documented operating
procedures while delivering or installing Materials or performing Services on State's
grounds or in its facilities. For clarity of intent, the foregoing means that if Contractor is
required to comply with certain security requirements in order to deliver, install, or
perform at that particular location, then it shall do so nonetheless and without
entitlement to any additional compensation or additional time for performance if those
particular requirements are not expressly stated in the Contract. Contractor is reminded

that violation of the prohibition under A.R.S. § 13-1502 against possession of weapons on
State's property by anyone for whom Contractor is responsible is a material breach of
contract and grounds for termination for default.
3.12.2 Protection Of Grounds And Facilities. Contractor shall deliver or install the Materials and
perform the Services without damaging any State grounds or facilities. Contractor shall
repair or replace any damage it does cause promptly and at its own expense, subject to
whatever instructions and restrictions State needs to make to prevent inconvenience or
disruption of operations. If Contractor fails to make the necessary repairs or replacements
in a timely manner, State will be entitled to exercise its remedies under paragraph 8.5 of
the Uniform Terms and Conditions [Right of Offset].
3.13
Transitions
3.13.1 During commencement, Contractor shall attend transition meetings with any outgoing
suppliers to coordinate and ease the transition so that the impact on State's operations is
kept to a minimum. State may elect to have outgoing suppliers complete some or all of
their Work or Orders in progress, even if that Work could be covered under the incoming
supplier's Contract. Conversely, the State may have a continued need for the same
Materials and Services upon expiration or earlier termination of the Contract. Accordingly,
Contractor shall work closely with any incoming supplier and State to ensure as smooth
and complete a transition transfer as is practicable.
3.13.2 Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer's representative will coordinate all transition activities and
facilitate joint development of a comprehensive transition plan by both Contractor and
the incoming supplier. As with the incoming transition, State may permit Contractor,
when Contractor is outgoing, to complete work or orders in progress to ease the transition
as is safest and most efficient in each instance.

Costs and Payments
4.1
Travel. Contractor shall request and receive written approval prior to any travel under the
Contract in which reimbursement of expenses will be requested. Contractor will be reimbursed for
actual expenses incurred in accordance with the current rates specified in the State's Travel Policy.

Therefore, Arizona TPT applies to all sales under the Contract and Arizona TPT is
Contractor's responsibility (as seller) to remit. Contractor's failure to collect Arizona TPT or
any other applicable sales or use taxes from an Eligible Agency or Co-Op Buyer will not
relieve the Contractor of any obligation to remit sales or use taxes that are due under the
Contract or laws. Unless clearly stated otherwise in the Contract, all prices therein include
Arizona TPT as well as every other manner of transaction privilege or sales/use tax that is
due to a municipality or another state or its political subdivisions. Contractor shall pay all

delegate giving State satisfactory and equivalent evidence or assurance of its financial
soundness, competency, capacity, and qualification to perform as that which Contractor
possessed when State first awarded it the Contract.

inspection, testing, or other acceptance assessment of Materials or Services cannot be done until
after installation or invoicing, the forgoing warranty will not begin until State's explicit acceptance
of the Materials or Services.
Inspection/Testing. The warranties set forth in this Section 7 [Warranties] are not affected by inspection or
testing of or payment for the Materials or Services by the State.
Contractor Personnel. Contractor warrants that its personnel will perform their duties under the Contract
in a professional manner, applying the requisite skills and knowledge, consistent with industry standards,
and in accordance with the requirements of the Contract. Contractor further warrants that its key
personnel will maintain any and all certifications relevant to their work, and Contractor shall provide

decrease in workforce; and
Alternative avenues to keep sufficient product on hand or in the supply chain.
7.10.2. Provide a copy of its current plan to State within three (3) business days after State's written
request. If Contractor claims relief under paragraph 6.4 [Force Majeure] for an occurrence of force
majeure that is a declared public health emergency, then that relief will be conditioned on
Contractor having first implemented its plan and exhausted all reasonable opportunity for that
plan implementation to overcome the effects of that occurrence, or mitigate those effects to the
extent that overcoming entirely is not practicable.
7.10.3. A request from the State related to this paragraph 7.10 does not necessarily indicate that there has
been an occurrence of force majeure, and the Contractor will not be entitled to any additional
compensation or extension of time by virtue of having to implement a plan.
7.10.4. Failure to have or implement an appropriate plan will be a material breach of contract.

of Federal Regulations (CFR) part 34 and A.R.S. § 41-1231, et seq., using monies awarded under the
Contract, provided that, the foregoing does not intend to constrain Contractor's use of its own
monies or property, including without limitation any net proceeds duly realized under the Contract
or any value thereafter derived from those proceeds; and upon award of the Contract, it will
disclose all lobbying activities to State to the extent they are an actual or potential conflict of
interest or where such activities could create an appearance of impropriety. Contractor shall
implement and maintain adequate controls to assure compliance with above. Contractor shall
obtain an equivalent warranty from all Subcontractors and shall include an equivalent no-lobbying
provision in all Subcontracts.
