Sec. 4. (a) An offeror that is a foreign corporation must be registered with the secretary of state to do business in Indiana in order to be considered responsible. (b) This subsection applies to a purchase of tangible personal property for a state agency under a contract entered into or purchase order sent to an offeror (in the absence of a contract) after June 30, 2007, including a purchase described in IC 5-22-8-2 or IC 5-22-8-3 . A state agency may not purchase tangible personal property from a person that is delinquent in the payment of amounts due from the person under IC 6-2.5 (gross retail and use tax) unless the person provides a statement from the department of state revenue that the person's delinquent tax liability: (1) has been satisfied; or (2) has been released under IC 6-8.1-8-2 . (c) The purchasing agent may award a contract to an offeror pending the offeror's registration with the secretary of state. If, in the judgment of the purchasing agent, the offeror has not registered within a reasonable period, the purchasing agent shall cancel the contract. An offeror has no cause of action based on the cancellation of a contract under this subsection.
