Before you make a purchase, you should check to see if the items/services can be provided by a PREFERRED SOURCE VENDOR, a NYS Certified Minority and Women Owned Business (MWBE) and/or if these items are already available under a STATE CONTRACT (NYS and the vendor have a contract with set pricing for items/services).

To find STATE CONTRACT VENDORS go to: http://www.ogs.state.ny.us Go to "Procurement Contracts" - ENTER. Then put in a "key word(s)" and try to locate the items and/or services you are looking for. The system is not the most user-friendly, so just do your best and try different words choices.

1. If an item/service is on STATE CONTRACT, you need to notify the Purchasing Department of the CONTRACT NUMBER that has been assigned to the vendor you are using. Most contract numbers begin with a "PC", "PS" or a "PT" and are followed by a five-digit number.
2. The College also has goals set by New York State to utilize CERTIFIED WOMEN OWNED OR MINORITY OWNED BUSINESSES (M/WBE'S) whenever possible. Please view the directory at http://www.esd.ny.gov/MWBE/Certification.html 
3. Price quotes should be obtained whenever possible if you are not using a preferred source or a contract vendor. You MUST have at least three written quotes if your total order exceeds $10,000. Faxed quotes are acceptable.
4. Once you have determined which vendor you will be using, you can then fill out your requisition and send it to the Purchasing Department.
5. Departments MUST contact the Purchasing Department for assistance before finalizing any contract or agreement that obligates SUNY Delhi. Questions should be referred to Allison Lundin or Cheryl Dietzman in the Purchasing Department at 746-4500.
