14. REPORTING Supplier shall submit to VDH a monthly report containing data on: Small Business Procurement and Subcontracting Spend This report must be submitted in accordance with the instructions and further detailed requirements, and on the templates set forth below. Supplier’s failure to comply with all reporting, payment, and other requirements in this section may be deemed by VDH, in its sole discretion, to be a breach of the Contract. A. Small Business Procurement and Subcontracting Spend Supplier shall provide to VDH a report of monthly subcontracting spend data. This data must include Supplier's total spend to all Subcontractors who provide direct performance for obligations under this Contract. Supplier’s monthly subcontracting spend data must be submitted at: SWAM@VDH.Virginia.gov. In addition, every six (6) months following the Effective Date, Supplier shall submit to VDH a “SWaM Subcontracting Certification of Compliance” (“SSCC”) certifying that Supplier has fully complied with the Contract’s Supplier Procurement and Subcontracting Plan ("Plan"). A copy of Supplier’s Plan is attached to this Contract as Exhibit H, and is incorporated by reference. The SSCC must include a written explanation of any variances of greater than 20% between the Plan and the actual subcontractor spend by Supplier. Supplier’s SSCC will be maintained by VDH in the Supplier’s procurement file. Supplier must submit the SSCC to the following address: SWAM@VDH.virginia.gov. In the event that Supplier fails to comply with its contractually obligated Plan spend or fails to report its contractually obligated Plan spend, VDH may, at its sole discretion, prohibit or delay any renewals or extensions of the Contract, withhold any final payments due, or both. Supplier’s failure to comply will be considered in the prospective award of any future contracts with Supplier.
