Description

Virginia Public Procurement Act; required disclosure of the location where services are to be performed under the contract. Requires prospective vendors for state service contracts to disclose the location where services will be performed under the contract, including any subcontracts, and whether any services under the contract, including any subcontracts, are anticipated to be performed outside of the United States. In addition, the bill provides that the state public body may consider the disclosure of the prospective vendor and the economic impact to the Commonwealth and its citizens in awarding the contract or evaluating the bid or offer. Under the bill, if the vendor subsequently changes the location where the services are performed to a location outside of the Untied States, then the vendor will be in breach of the contract unless the public body makes a written determination that circumstances required the change in location or termination of the contract would not be in the best interest of the Commonwealth. The bill also provides for the Department of General Services to submit to the Governor and General Assembly by September 30 of each year a report detailing the impact of outsourcing services on the procurement cost of the Commonwealth.
