The Labor Commissioner shall, not later than June thirtieth of each year, distribute a list to all departments of the state giving the names of persons or firms that have been found in violation of the National Labor Relations Act, 49 Stat. 449 (1935), 29 USC 151 et seq., by the National Labor Relations Board and by a final decision rendered by a federal court or that have been found in contempt of court by a final decision of a federal court for failure to correct a violation of said National Labor Relations Act, on three or more occasions involving different violations during the five preceding calendar years. Such list shall be compiled from the records of the National Labor Relations Board. No state contract shall be awarded to the persons or firms appearing on such list until three years have elapsed from the first day of July following publication of such list and, during such three-year period no state contract shall be awarded, to any subcontractor or supplier, for merchandise produced or services provided by such persons or firms. This section shall not prohibit any award of a state contract where such award is determined by the Labor Commissioner to be in the best interest of the state or where the Commissioner of Administrative Services certifies to the Labor Commissioner that there is only one source for the merchandise or services for which such contract is to be awarded.
