A reasonable inquiry to <br>determine the responsibility of a bidder or offeror may be conducted.

(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 <br>Purchasing or the purchasing agency administering the contract without prior <br>written consent of the bidder or offeror.
