Introduction
It is the policy of the University that utilization of preferred sources occur whenever possible. Preferred sources should be considered for all purchases.
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. NYS Correctional Services, National Industries for the Blind (formerly, Industries for the Blind), Industries for the Disabled and the NYS Office of Mental Health are the current Preferred Sources.

Vendor Fair
Each fall the University holds an Preferred Source Vendor Fair. In the past all preferred sources and their affiliated agencies have attended the Fair. The Fair allows the preferred sources to showcase the goods and services that they offer to the campus community with the hope of increasing business between the campus and the preferred sources.
