Basis for Guideline

The intent of the Procurement Lobbying Law is to increase public disclosure of attempts to influence the award of procurement contracts.

While the Procurement Lobbying Law does not apply to the Research Foundation since the Research Foundation is not a State Agency, the RF administers certain programs with the understanding that for procurements through the campus procurement office the campus adheres to the procurement policies of the State of New York.

Guideline Recommendations

The Procurement Lobbying Law took effect January 1, 2006. The intent of the Procurement Lobbying Law is to increase public disclosure of attempts to influence the award of procurement contracts. The order applies to all State Agencies with respect to procurement contracts involving annualized expenditures in excess of $15,000 for goods or services, and the acquisition or granting of an interest in real property, and public works.

Under the Procurement Lobbying Law, compiled records should be readily available for inspection. The Corporate Finance Office may request information from campus locations as necessary.
