Optional documentation
New York State Procurement Guidelines, September 2023 - The guidelines state, “As noted, State Agencies undertake procurements to address a wide range of needs. Before proceeding, the Agency should confirm that there is not a pre-existing contract that Page 8 of 49 will meet its needs. To meet varying needs and form, function, and utility requirements, an Agency must first identify its specific needs, estimate costs, perform market research, consider relevant State requirements and goals (e.g., recycled content, GreenNY specifications), and then follow the order of priority set forth below (State Finance Law § 163(3) & (4)).”
Green NY Approved Specifications – Under GreenNY and Executive Order 22, New York state agencies, including SUNY Cortland, are required to purchase commodities, services and technology that meet approved green procurement specifications.
