What are State Contracts and how can BOCES make use of them?
They are “purchase contracts” on which competitive bids have already been taken and awards made to the lowest responsible bidders through the Office of General Services, State Division of Purchasing. Most purchases made from State Contracts do not have to go through the BOCES quotation, bidding or Board award process. However, there are some exceptions to this rule for those state contracts that require a “mini-bid process” be used in conjunction with the state contract.
