Provides bidder is ineligible to receive new State contract award if current contract is in dispute by State.

This bill (S 86) prevents contractors from winning new state contracts if they have an unresolved dispute or performance issue with an existing state contract. Specifically, a bidder becomes ineligible if they failed to perform under a current contract (as determined by the State Contract Manager), or if the current contract is on hold, incomplete, or in litigation regarding performance. The rule applies to all state procurement contracts and requires disputes to be resolved before a bidder can receive new work. The intent is to ensure contractors fulfill current obligations before being awarded additional state projects.
