OSC PROCUREMENT INTEGRITY PROCEDURES. In order to ensure that procurements of goods or services1 by the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) or the Common Retirement Fund (CRF) are conducted in a fair, equitable and open manner, the procedures set forth below shall apply to the procurement process. The General Counsel to the Comptroller shall have general responsibility for the prevention of improper influence relative to all procurement contracts awarded by OSC or CRF. A copy of these Procurement Integrity Procedures will be given to every OSC employee, consultant, or other person assigned to any task related to an OSC or CRF procurement. A copy of these procedures will be incorporated into every Request for Information (RFI), Request for Proposals (RFP) or Invitation for Bids (IFB) issued by OSC or CRF. Any OSC employee who violates these procedures may be subject to disciplinary action, such as a reprimand, suspension, demotion, or dismissal. Any vendor who violates these procedures may, after notice and an opportunity to be heard, be determined to be a non-responsible vendor, and on the basis of such a determination may be ineligible to receive a contract award. Every reasonable effort will be made to assure compliance with these procedures, but a minor deviation from these procedures that does not impair the fairness and integrity of the procurement process will not require the invalidation of a contract award.
