Graystone Contract

The Graystone contract was a SUNY-wide contract for advertising positions, which expired a few years ago. SUNY has not awarded a new or replacement contract. 

As a result, departments will need to request a quote from Graystone and submit the quote with a Purchase Requisition to [email protected]. Purchasing Office will then issue a Purchase Order to the vendor.
