Manual and any changes or revisions thereto, which are hereby incorporated into this
contract in their entirety. The process for filing a complaint about this solicitation is in
section 7.13 of the Vendors Manual. (Note section 7.13 does not apply to protests of

This solicitation and any resulting contract shall be governed in all respects by the laws
of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its choice of law provisions, and any
litigation with respect thereto shall be brought in the circuit courts of the Commonwealth.

religion, religious belief, refusal to participate in a religious practice, or on the basis of
race, age, color, gender sexual orientation, gender identity, or national origin and shall be
subject to the same rules as other organizations that contract with public bodies to
account for the use of the funds provided; however, if the faith-based organization

reasonably necessary to the normal operation of the contractor. The contractor
agrees to post in conspicuous places, available to employees and applicants
for employment, notices setting forth the provisions of this nondiscrimination
clause.
b. The contractor, in all solicitations or advertisements for employees placed by
or on behalf of the contractor, will state that such contractor is an equal

conspicuous public place in each building located in the Commonwealth that

employee handbook.
e. The requirements of these provisions 1. and 2. are a material part of the
contract. If the Contractor violates one of these provisions, the
Commonwealth may terminate the affected part of this contract for breach, or
at its option, the whole contract. Violation of one of these provisions may also
result in debarment from State contracting regardless of whether the specific
contract is terminated.
f. In accordance with Executive Order 61 (2017), a prohibition on
discrimination by the contractor, in its employment practices, subcontracting
practices, and delivery of goods or services, on the basis of race, sex, color,
national origin, religion, sexual orientation, gender identity, age, political
affiliation, disability, or veteran status, is hereby incorporated in this contract.
2. The contractor will include the provisions of 1. above in every subcontract or

subcontractor or vendor.
