Common use of STATE SECURITY Clause in Contracts

STATE SECURITY. Participating Entity and/or Purchasing Entity may require that a criminal background investigation be made of any and all Contractor personnel utilized to provide Services to Participating Entity and/or Purchasing Entity. Contractor represents and warrants that Contractor shall refrain from assigning personnel to any task under this Master Agreement and any Participating Addendum and Statement of Work if such investigation reveals a disregard for the law or other background that indicates an unacceptable security risk as determined by the Participating Entity (or Lead State as applicable to activities solely applicable to the Master Agreement). The Contractor’s employees, agents and subcontractors may be granted access to Participating Entity and/or Purchasing Entity computers, hardware, software, programs and/or information technology infrastructure or operations to the extent necessary to carry out the Contractor's responsibilities under the Master Agreement, Participating Addendum, and Statement of Work. Such access may be terminated at the sole discretion of the Participating Entity or Purchasing Entity. The Contractor shall provide immediate notice to Lead State, Participating Entity, and Purchasing Entity of any employees, agents and/or subcontractors suspected of abusing or misusing such access privilege. The Contractor represents and warrants that Contractor shall provide notice to Participating Entity of the changed status of any employee, agent or subcontractor granted access to Participating Entity or Purchasing Entity computers, hardware, software, programs and/or information technology infrastructure or operations, including, but not limited to, termination or change of the position or contract relationship.
