Payment to Contractor beyond the current Purchasing Entity’s Fiscal Year is contingent on the appropriation and continuing availability of Contract Funds in any
subsequent year (See Colorado Special Provision). If federal funds, non-State funds or
funds from any other source constitute all or some of the Contract Funds, the Purchasing Entity’s obligation to pay Contractor shall be contingent upon such funding continuing to be made available for payment. Orders under this Participating Addendum shall be made only from Contract Funds, and the Purchasing Entity’s liability for such payments
shall be limited to the amount remaining of such Contract Funds. If State, federal or
other Purchasing Entity funds are not appropriated, or otherwise become unavailable to fund an Order under this Participating Addendum, the Purchasing Entity may, upon written notice, terminate the Order, in whole or in part, without incurring further liability. The Purchasing Entity shall, however, remain obligated to pay for Services
and Goods that are delivered and accepted prior to the effective date of notice of
termination of Order. A State Purchasing Entity Order termination shall otherwise be treated as if the Order was terminated in the public interest as described in §3. E. of this Exhibit A.
The Purchasing Entity may effect such termination by giving Contractor a written
notice of termination, to the Contractor’s primary contact in accordance with §5 of the
Participating Addendum, and by paying to Contractor any amounts which are due and have not been paid through the last day of the Fiscal Year for which appropriated funds are available. The Purchasing Entity shall endeavor to give notice of such termination not less than 30 days prior to the day of non-availability of funds, and shall notify
Contractor of any anticipated termination.
iv. Discount and Delinquency Period
Any applicable cash discount period or delinquency period for the amounts shown on an invoice shall begin on the date the Purchasing Entity’s approves of the invoice, or from the date of receipt of acceptable Goods or Services at the specified destination by

such officer and employee that any such unauthorized inspection or disclosure of returns or return
information may also result in an award of civil damages against the officer or employee in an

prohibited by the Privacy Act or regulations established thereunder, and who knowing that
disclosure of the specific material is prohibited, willfully discloses the material in any manner to
any person or agency not entitled to receive it, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and fined not more
than $5,000.
D. Granting a Contractor access to FTI must be preceded by certifying that each individual understands the
State’s security policy and procedures for safeguarding FTI. Contractors must maintain their
authorization to access FTI through annual recertification. The initial certification and
recertification must be documented and placed in the State’s files for review. As part of the
certification and at least annually afterwards, Contractors must be advised of the provisions of IRCs
7431, 7213, and 7213A (see Exhibit 4, Sanctions for Unauthorized Disclosure, and Exhibit 5, Civil
Damages for Unauthorized Disclosure). The training provided before the initial certification and
annually thereafter must also cover the incident response policy and procedure for reporting
unauthorized disclosures and data breaches.5 For both the initial certification and the annual
certification, the Contractor must sign, either with ink or electronic signature, a confidentiality
statement certifying their understanding of the security requirements.
3. INSPECTION
The IRS and the State, with 24-hour notice, shall have the right to send its inspectors into the offices and plants
of the Contractor to inspect facilities and operations performing any work with FTI under this Contract for
compliance with requirements defined in IRS Publication 1075. The IRS’s right of inspection shall include the
use of manual and/or automated scanning tools to perform compliance and vulnerability assessments of
information technology (IT) assets that access, store, process, or transmit FTI. On the basis of such inspection,
corrective actions may be required in cases where the Contractor is found to be noncompliant with Contract
safeguards.
