A Preferred Source is a designated vendor who, in an effort to advance certain social and economic goals, has received special provider status under New York State statute. Industries for the Blind, Industries for the Disabled, NYS Correctional Services and the NYS Office of Mental Health are the current Preferred Sources. http://www.ogs.state.ny.us/procurecounc/pdfdoc/pslist.pdf.
The acquisition of commodities and services from these vendors has been given exemption from statutory competitive procurement guidelines. It is the obligation of each state agency to procure goods and services from a Preferred Source provider whenever possible. The Office of General Services keeps a complete and current resource of the law, guidelines and procedures. Please visit http://www.ogs.state.ny.us/purchase/AboutPSG.asp for more information. Offerings can be found either by Preferred Source, or by commodities and/or service.
