Sec. 25-65. Contracts performed outside the United States. Prior to contracting or as a requirement of solicitation of any State contracts for services as defined in Section 1-15.90, whichever is appropriate, prospective vendors shall disclose in a statement of work any services under that contract, including any subcontracts, that are anticipated to be performed outside the United States.
