2006 New York Code - General Duties.

 
    § 202. General  duties.  The  office of general services shall provide
  coordinated services in support of state departments and agencies,  and,
  as    specified,    authorities,   municipalities   and   not-for-profit
  organizations, hereafter for the purposes of this section referred to as
  agencies. Such support  services  shall  (i)  serve  to  conserve  state
  resources,  (ii) benefit multiple agencies, and (iii) be consistent with
  the needs and  interests  of  the  agencies  receiving  those  services.
  Support  services  may  be  delivered  directly by the office of general
  services or by other means which ensure the cost effectiveness of  those
  services.  The  commissioner  of  general  services may recommend to the
  governor new services which could be offered by the  office  of  general
  services,  and  that  would  reduce  state  or  local  expenditures  and
  facilitate the mission of agencies currently receiving  or  which  could
  receive such services.
