A Commonwealth agency may not enter into a contract for the procurement of apparel or apparel laundering services until the agency determines that the apparel will not be manufactured in a facility that utilizes sweatshop conditions. In making the determination, the Commonwealth agency may do one or more of the following:
- (1) Consider the contractor certifications required by § 7.812 (relating to contractor certification).
- (2) Request further information and documentation from the contractor or the manufacturing or laundering facility.
- (3) Seek and receive information from workers, labor unions, manufacturers, consumer groups, international organizations and groups, and other parties.
