The State Authority Contract Manual contains the procedures for State authorities to submit eligible contracts as described in Public Authorities Law (PAL) §2879-(a) and the official compilation of the Codes, Rules and Regulations of the State of New York (NYCRR) Title 2 Part 206, to the Office of the State Comptroller (OSC) for review, as well as procedures for filing eligible and exempt contracts and annual reports as required by NYCRR Title 2 Part 206, and other contract matters.
This manual provides general instructions for using the web-based Contract Submission System (CSS). The CSS became available for State authority use in September 2011. Effective October 26, 2011, State authorities MUST use the CSS to submit contracts. Contract transactions submitted by any method other than CSS will not be considered as having been submitted for the purposes of Public Authorities law §2879a. Such mandate is authorized by NYCRR Part 206.5(e). The CSS includes a Feedback feature that allows State authority users to provide suggestions for system improvements and enhancements. Feedback may also be provided directly to the State Authority Contract (SAC) mailbox at SAC@osc.state.ny.us.
This document will continue to be updated, as necessary. State authorities should anticipate that the procedures described in the manual will change to reflect improvements and enhancements to the CSS.
