The selected Vendor must be fully qualified and capable in all material respects to provide the specified goods and/or services. Unless specifically provided for in the solicitation, the Vendor shall be an independent contractor and not an employee, agent, partner or joint venturer with the State. Nothing herein shall be construed as creating any contractual relationship or obligation between the State and any sub-bidder, subcontractor, supplier of the Vendor, and/or employee of the Vendor. With that said, the State may consider Vendor non-payment of subcontractors or suppliers in determining whether an award to the Vendor is in the best interest of the State. If the solicitation allows, and the Vendor is a joint entity consisting of more than one individual, partnership or corporation or other business organization, all such entities shall be jointly and severally liable for performing the Contract; however, one entity shall be designated as the lead Vendor for contracting purposes.
