Section 316.1 - Application
Current through Register Vol. 46, No. 12, March 20, 2024
(a) These rules and regulations are promulgated pursuant to authority vested in the State University of New York Board of Trustees in section 355 of the Education Law, as amended by chapters 552-555 of the Laws of 1985, and shall apply to all purchases and contracts made by the State-operated campuses and System Administration of State University. These procedures apply to consultant contracts but not to employment contracts.
(b) The chancellor or designee is authorized to establish such guidelines and procedures, consistent herewith, as may be necessary for the proper administration of State University purchasing and contracting.
(c) The conflict of interest and code of ethics provisions of sections 73 and 74 of the Public Officers Law shall apply to all purchasing activities of the State University under these rules and regulations. Campuses are therefore required to inquire as to the status of entities with which they intend to contract or lease. If an officer or employee of the State University owns or controls over 10 percent of an entity with which the State University desires to do business, a formal public competitive selection process must be used before a valid agreement may be entered into with such individual or organization, in order to comply with provisions of POL 73.
