1.1 Supplier may not add products or services to its offerings under the Contract without the State’s prior written approval. Such request may require a competitive bid of the additional products or services. If the need arises for goods or services outside the scope of the Contract, Supplier shall contact the State. 1.2 At no time during the performance of the Contract shall the Supplier have the authority to obligate any Customer for payment for any products or services (a) when a corresponding encumbering document is not signed or (b) over and above an awarded Contract amount. Likewise, Supplier is not entitled to compensation for a product or service provided by or on behalf of Supplier that is neither requested nor accepted as satisfactory. 1.3 If applicable, prior to any Contract renewal, the State shall subjectively consider the value of the Contract to the State, the Supplier’s performance under the Contract, and shall review certain other factors, including but not limited to the: a) terms and conditions of Contract documents to determine validity with current State and other applicable statutes and rules; b) current pricing and discounts offered by Supplier; and c) current products, services and support offered by Supplier. If the State determines changes to the Contract are required as a condition precedent to renewal, the State and Supplier will cooperate in good faith to evidence such required changes in an Amendment. Further, any request for a price increase in connection with a renewal or otherwise will be conditioned on the Supplier providing appropriate documentation supporting the request. 1.4 Upon mutual agreement, the Parties may extend the Contract for ninety (90) days beyond a final renewal term. The Parties may to the extent allowable by law, choose to exercise subsequent ninety (90) day extensions.
