shall be made in accordance with administrative regulations promulgated by the
secretary of the Finance and Administration Cabinet. A reasonable inquiry to

(2)A written determination of responsibility of a bidder or offeror shall not be made
until the bidder or offeror provides the secretary of the Finance and Administration
Cabinet with his sworn statement made under penalty of perjury that he has not
knowingly violated any provision of the campaign finance laws of the
Commonwealth and that the award of a contract to a bidder or offeror will not
violate any provision of the campaign finance laws of the Commonwealth.
"Knowingly" means, with respect to conduct or to a circumstance described by a
statute defining an offense, that a person is aware or should have been aware that
his conduct is of that nature or that the circumstance exists.
(3)Except as otherwise provided by law, information furnished by a bidder or offeror
pursuant to this section may not be disclosed outside of the Division of State
Purchasing or the purchasing agency administering the contract without prior
written consent of the bidder or offeror.
