§ 6-151 Labor and human rights disclosures in procurement.
AC § 6-151
a. Definitions. For the purposes of this section the following terms have the following meanings: Covered contract. The term "covered contract" means any contract for goods or services that has a value greater than the small purchase limit set forth in section 3-08 of title 9 of the rules of the city of New York, provided, however, that such term shall not include emergency procurements, contracts for professional services and contracts subject to federal or state requirements that preclude additional disclosures. Labor and human rights disclosure. The term "labor and human rights disclosure" means a voluntary statement from a bidder describing such bidder’s efforts to identify and address risks related to child labor, forced labor, wage theft, unsafe working conditions, and violations of freedom of association in such bidder’s business operations and supply chains. b. For covered contracts, an agency may request that a bidder submit a labor and human rights disclosure as part of a vendor responsibility determination under section 103 of the general municipal law. Any failure to submit such a disclosure shall not form a basis for a determination that a bidder is not a responsible bidder. c. The office of contract services shall develop a standardized labor and human rights disclosure form that contracting agencies shall use when requesting voluntary labor and human rights disclosures pursuant to this section. Such form shall be made publicly available on the city's website. (L.L. 2026/040, 1/17/2026, eff. 5/17/2026)
