Under the Omnibus Procurement Act of 1992 and Amendments of 1994, (now Section 165.6 a-e of the State Finance Law) the Office of General Services may deny to a vendor placement on bidders mailing lists and award of contracts that they would otherwise obtain if their principal place of business is located in a jurisdiction that penalizes New York State vendors and if the goods or services offered will be substantially produced or performed outside New York State. These sanctions may be waived when it is determined to be in the best interest of New York State to do so. Preference applies to State for Purchase of food products, the essential components of which are grown, produced or harvested in New York or where the processing facility is located in New York. The Commissioner of General Services assisted by the Commissioner of Agriculture and Markets determine the percentage of each food product or class which must meet these requirements.
Two step policy for recycled products. 10% preference is applied for a recycled content product without regard to the product's origin. An additional 5% preference may be granted if at least 50% of the secondary materials utilized in manufacture of that product are generated from the waste stream in New York State.
