b. The commissioner shall:
(i) determine, in cooperation with the state procurement council and
state agencies, the identity, form, function and utility of those
commodities which shall be made available on or through centralized
contracts. Criteria may include, but need not be limited to, the

state agencies and the relative cost of establishing the contract, its
anticipated use and expected actual savings for the state. The
commissioner may also act as a broker for state agencies to procure
commodities.
(ii) determine the number and scope of centralized contracts for
commodities to be let during any period, including the letting of

ensure the availability to all authorized purchasers of a centralized
list which identifies commodities offered by New York state's small
businesses and a centralized list which identifies commodities and
services offered by businesses certified pursuant to article fifteen-A

designed to enable effective identification of New York state's small
businesses and businesses certified pursuant to article fifteen-A of the
executive law.
(iv) ensure the specification of commodities for centralized contracts
reflect the form, function and utility required by state agencies and
conform, wherever possible, to industry standards. Where necessary, the
commissioner may develop specifications for commodities. When not
otherwise forthcoming from a particular firm or industry, the
commissioner may request information from businesses for the purpose of
establishing or improving a specification. The office of general
services may assist agencies in developing specifications for

other state agencies, provide training once per year for staff of each
state agency's minority and women business development office, or if an

c. When commodities are not available in the form, function and
utility required by state agencies through preferred sources or
centralized contracts, a state agency may, independently or in
conjunction with other state agencies, procure commodities in accordance
with the provisions of this section. State agencies may maintain
listings of firms, including those certified pursuant to article
fifteen-A of the executive law, or may use the office of general
services' listing of firms and may request assistance from the office of
general services. It shall be the responsibility of state agencies to
periodically advise the office of general services of those
agency-procured commodities which, due to the frequency of purchase or
related factors, should be made available through centralized contracts.
d. The commissioner may make, or cause to be made by a duly authorized
representative, any investigation which he or she may deem proper for
acquiring the necessary information from a state agency for the exercise
of his or her powers and duties under this subdivision. For such
purposes the commissioner may subpoena and compel the attendance of
witnesses before him or her, or an authorized representative, and may
compel the production of books, papers, records or documents. The
commissioner or a duly authorized representative may take and hear
proofs and testimony and, for that purpose, the commissioner or the duly
authorized representative may administer oaths. In addition, the
commissioner or the duly authorized representative:
(i) Shall have access at all reasonable times to offices of state
agencies;
(ii) May examine all books, papers, records and documents in any such
state agency as pertain directly to the purchase, control or
distribution of commodities; and

4. General provisions for purchasing services. State agency
procurement practices for services shall incorporate the following:
a. The purchase of services by state agencies including the office of
general services shall be conducted in a manner which accords first
priority to preferred sources in accordance with the provisions of this
article when the services required are available in the form, function
and utility required by state agencies through a preferred source.
b. Centralized contracts for services may be procured by the office of
general services at the request of state agencies and state agencies may
when such centralized contracts are in the form, function or utility
required by said agency, purchase from established centralized
contracts. The state procurement council may, from time to time, require
that state agencies procure services from certain centralized contracts.
c. When services are not available from preferred sources consistent
with the provisions of this article in the form, function or utility
required by state agencies, state agencies may procure services
independently or in conjunction with other state agencies in accordance
with the provisions of this section.
d. Service contracts shall be awarded on the basis of best value to a
responsive and responsible offerer; or, in the case of multiple awards,
in accordance with paragraph c of subdivision ten of this section.
e. Any officer, body or agency of a political subdivision as defined
in section one hundred of the general municipal law or a district
therein, may make purchases of services through the office of general
services' centralized contracts for services, subject to the provisions
of section one hundred four of the general municipal law. The
commissioner may permit and prescribe the conditions for the purchase of
services through the office of general services' centralized contracts
for services by any public authority or public benefit corporation of
the state including the port authority of New York and New Jersey. The
commissioner is authorized to permit any public library, association
library, library system, cooperative library system, the New York
Library Association, and the New York State Association of Library
Boards or any other library except those which are operated by for
profit entities, to make purchases of services through the office of
general services' centralized contracts; provided, however, that such
entity so empowered shall accept sole responsibility for any payment due
with respect to such purchase.
f. (i) The state procurement council may issue guidelines for the
development of strategic partnering between the state and non-state
entities for the enhancement of the business interests of the state.
Strategic partnerships may be developed during the course of a long-term
contractual relationship between a state agency and the contractor and
take the form of the joint development of new commodities and services,
not otherwise available, which are cost-beneficial to the state.
Strategic partnerships may also include the sharing of expertise,
efforts and resources directed at providing goods and services in a
manner which provides best value to the state. Strategic partnerships
shall be accomplished by amendment to existing contracts, to make such
commodities, processes and services available to the state provided such
applications are cost beneficial. Ninety days prior to the mid-term
point of each such contract amendment based upon a strategic
partnership, each state entity involved in the contract must submit to
the state comptroller a detailed written analysis reviewing each of the
following:
(A) the continuing validity of the initial justification
documentation, submitted with original contract and any amendments
thereto;
(B) whether the commodities or services contracted for are currently
being utilized to the extent initially anticipated;
(C) a thorough analysis of changes in available technologies effecting
the continuing need for the commodities or services currently being
utilized;
(D) new products or services not available at the commencement of the
contract which may be more compatible with the needs of the state agency
or agencies involved;
(E) the non-state entity has performed satisfactorily throughout the
term of the contract; and
(F) a cost analysis setting forth the reasonableness for the
continuation of the contractual relationship with the non-state entity.
(ii) The state comptroller shall have ninety days to review such
documentation submitted by the state agency and may, during that period
or at the end of such period, request additional information from the
state agency. Further, the comptroller may transmit written suggestions
of possible modifications to be considered by the state agency to the
contract or any amendment thereto.
(iii) Guidelines must include the definition of a strategic
partnership, the conditions under which such a partnership provides the
state with best value acquisitions, the minimum expected outcomes and
the allowable term. Approval of a strategic partnering arrangement shall
be dependent on a written finding issued by the commissioner of the
state agency that the non-state entity has performed satisfactorily with
the state and that such an arrangement is in the best interest of the
state in accordance with state procurement council guidelines and
subject to the approval of the state comptroller.
** g. All state agencies shall require all contractors, including
sub-contractors, that provide services for state purposes pursuant to a
contract, to submit an annual employment report for each contract for
services that includes for each employment category within the contract
the number of employees employed to provide services under the contract,
the number of hours they work and their total compensation under the
contract. Employment reports shall be submitted to the agency that
awarded the contract, the department of civil service and the department
of audit and control and shall be available for public inspection and
copying pursuant to section eighty-seven of the public officers law
provided that in disclosing such reports pursuant to the public officers
law, the agency making the disclosure shall redact the name or social
security number of any individual employee that is included in such
document.

5. Process for conducting state procurements. The process for
conducting state procurements for services and commodities shall be as
follows:
a. Determination of need. State agencies shall be responsible for
determining the need for a given service or commodity:
(i) For commodities, upon such determination of need, state agencies
shall ascertain whether the commodity is available in the form, function
and utility consistent with their needs from preferred sources and if
so, shall purchase said commodity from a preferred source in accordance
with the provisions of this article. If not so available, state agencies
shall determine whether the commodity is available in the form, function
and utility consistent with their needs on a centralized contract and if
so, except as provided in subparagraph (v) of paragraph a of subdivision
three of this section, shall purchase said commodity using the
centralized contract. If a commodity is not available in the form,
function and utility consistent with the needs of the state agency from
a preferred source or a centralized contract or as provided for in
subparagraph (v) of paragraph a of subdivision three of this section,
the state agency may procure the commodity independently or in
conjunction with another state agency in accordance with paragraph c of
subdivision three of this section.
(ii) For services, upon such determination of need, state agencies
shall ascertain whether the service is available in the form, function
and utility consistent with their needs from preferred sources and, if
so, shall purchase said service through the preferred source in
accordance with the provisions of this article. If not so available,
state agencies may:
(A) Purchase the service if it is available in the form, function and
utility consistent with their needs using an established centralized
contract procured by either the office of general services or another
state agency;
(B) Request that the office of general services procure such a
service, particularly with respect to those services having utility
and/or benefit to more than one state agency; or
(C) Procure the service independently or in conjunction with another
state agency.
b. The state procurement council may, from time to time, require state
agencies to procure certain services from centralized contracts.
6. Discretionary buying thresholds. Pursuant to guidelines established
by the state procurement council: the commissioner may purchase services
and commodities in an amount not exceeding eighty-five thousand dollars
without a formal competitive process; state agencies may purchase
services and commodities in an amount not exceeding fifty thousand
dollars without a formal competitive process; and state agencies may
purchase commodities or services from small business concerns or those
certified pursuant to article fifteen-A of the executive law, or
commodities or technology that are recycled or remanufactured, in an
amount not exceeding one hundred thousand dollars without a formal
competitive process.
6-a. Discretionary purchases. Notwithstanding the provisions of
subdivision two of section one hundred twelve of this chapter relating
to the dollar threshold requiring the state comptroller's approval of
contracts, the commissioner of general services may make purchases or
enter into contracts for the acquisition of commodities and services
having a value not exceeding eighty-five thousand dollars without prior
approval by any other state officer or agency in accordance with
procedures and requirements set forth in this article. Notwithstanding
the provisions of article four-C of the economic development law, the
commissioner of general services may make purchases or enter into
contracts for the acquisition of commodities and services having a value
not exceeding thirty thousand dollars without prior approval by any
other state officer or agency in accordance with procedures and
requirements set forth in this article.
7. Method of procurement. Consistent with the requirements of
subdivisions three and four of this section, state agencies shall select
among permissible methods of procurement including, but not limited to,
an invitation for bid, request for proposals or other means of
solicitation pursuant to guidelines issued by the state procurement
council. Except where otherwise provided by law, procurements shall be
competitive. State agencies shall document the determination of the
method of procurement and the basis of award in the procurement record.
Where the basis for award is the best value offer, the state agency
shall document, in the procurement record and in advance of the initial
receipt of offers, the determination of the evaluation criteria, which
whenever possible, shall be quantifiable, and the process to be used in
the determination of best value and the manner in which the evaluation
process and selection shall be conducted.
8. Public notice. All procurements by state agencies in excess of
fifteen thousand dollars shall be advertised in the state's procurement
opportunities newsletter in accordance with article four-C of the
economic development law.
9. Soliciting and accepting offers. For purchases from sources other
than preferred sources and for purchases in excess of the discretionary
buying threshold established in subdivision six of this section:
a. The commissioner or a state agency shall select a formal
competitive procurement process in accordance with guidelines
established by the state procurement council and document its
determination in the procurement record. The process shall include, but
is not limited to, a clear statement of need; a description of the
required specifications governing performance and related factors; a
reasonable process for ensuring a competitive field; a fair and equal
opportunity for offerers to submit responsive offers; and a balanced and
fair method of award. Where the basis for the award is best value,
documentation in the procurement record shall, where practicable,
include a quantification of the application of the criteria to the
rating of proposals and the evaluation results, or, where not
practicable, such other justification which demonstrates that best value
will be achieved.
b. The solicitation shall prescribe the minimum specifications or
requirements that must be met in order to be considered responsive and
shall describe and disclose the general manner in which the evaluation
and selection shall be conducted. Where appropriate, the solicitation
shall identify the relative importance and/or weight of cost and the
overall technical criterion to be considered by a state agency in its
determination of best value.
c. Where provided in the solicitation, state agencies may require
clarification from offerers for purposes of assuring a full
understanding of responsiveness to the solicitation requirements. Where
provided for in the solicitation, revisions may be permitted from all
offerers determined to be susceptible of being selected for contract
award, prior to award. Offerers shall be accorded fair and equal
treatment with respect to their opportunity for discussion and revision
of offers. Disclosure of the content of competing offers other than
statistical tabulations of bids received in response to an invitation
for bids, or of any clarifications of or any revisions thereto shall be
prohibited prior to award.
d. All offers may be rejected. Where provided in the solicitation,
separable portions of offers may be rejected.
e. Every offer shall be firm and not revocable for a period of sixty
days from the bid opening, or such other period of time specified in the
solicitation to the extent not inconsistent with section 2-205 of the
uniform commercial code. Subsequent to such sixty day or other specified
period, any offer is subject to withdrawal communicated in a writing
signed by the offeror.
f. Prior to making an award of contract, each state agency shall make
a determination of responsibility of the proposed contractor which shall
supplement, as appropriate, but not supersede the determination of
responsibility that may be required pursuant to section one hundred
thirty-nine-k of this chapter.
g. A procurement record shall be maintained for each procurement
identifying, with supporting documentation, decisions made by the
commissioner or state agency during the procurement process. The
procurement record shall include, but not be limited to each contract
amendment and the justification for each.
10. Letting of contracts. Contracts for commodities shall be awarded
on the basis of lowest price to a responsive and responsible offerer.
Contracts for services shall be awarded on the basis of best value from
a responsive and responsible offerer. Multiple awards for services and
commodities shall be conducted in accordance with paragraph c of this
subdivision.
a. Selection and award shall be a written determination in the
procurement record made by the commissioner or a state agency in a
manner consistent with the provisions of the solicitation. In the event
two offers are found to be substantially equivalent, price shall be the
basis for determining the award recipient or, when price and other
factors are found to be substantially equivalent, the determination of
the commissioner or agency head to award a contract to one or more of
such bidders shall be final. The basis for determining the award shall
be documented in the procurement record.
b. Single or sole source procurements for services or commodities, or
procurements made to meet emergencies arising from unforeseen causes,
may be made without a formal competitive process and shall only be made
under unusual circumstances and shall include a determination by the
commissioner or the state agency that the specifications or requirements
for said purchase have been designed in a fair and equitable manner. The
purchasing agency shall document in the procurement record, subject to
review by the state comptroller, the bases for a determination to
purchase from a single source or sole source, or the nature of the
emergency giving rise to the procurement.
c. The commissioner or state agency may elect to award a contract to
one or more responsive and responsible offerers provided, however, that
the basis for the selection among multiple contracts at the time of
purchase shall be the most practical and economical alternative and
shall be in the best interests of the state, and further provided that
the requirements set forth herein shall not preclude the commissioner
from establishing multiple award contracts for reasons including
increased opportunities for small businesses to participate in state
contracts.
d. It shall be in the discretion of the commissioner or state agency
to require a bond or other guarantee of performance, and to approve the
amount, form and sufficiency thereof.
e. The commissioner may authorize purchases required by state agencies
or other authorized purchasers by letting a contract pursuant to a
written agreement, or by approving the use of a contract let by any
department, agency or instrumentality of the United States government
and/or any department, agency, office, political subdivision or
instrumentality of any state or states.
f. The commissioner is authorized to let centralized contracts, in
accordance with the procedures of this section, for joint purchasing by
New York state and any department, agency or instrumentality of the
United States government and/or any state including the political
subdivisions thereof; provided however that any entity incurring a
liability under such contract shall be responsible for discharging said
liability.
11. Reasonableness of results. It shall be the responsibility of the
head of each state agency to periodically sample the results of the
procurement process to test for reasonableness; to ensure that the
results withstand public scrutiny and that the quality and the price of
the purchase makes sense; and to ensure that purchasing is conducted in
a manner consistent with the best interests of the state.
12. Review by the office of the state comptroller. Review by the
office of the state comptroller shall be in accordance with section one
hundred twelve of this chapter.
13. Technological procurement improvements. The state procurement
council may request that the office of general services provide, or
recommend to the state comptroller to provide for the utilization of
technological advances and efficiencies in the procurement process
including, but not limited to, electronic ordering and payment,
procurement cards and similar improvements.
