ARBITRATION SERVICES

The contract pertains to Arbitration Services required to handle triage cases and oversee disciplinary hearings within the New York State Department of Corrections and Community Supervision. These services include covering Security Services Unit Agreements, Master Arbitrators for Article 7 relating to Triage/Ex Arb, and disciplinary suspensions. The contract is a sole-source award given to Jeffrey Selchick, Esq., meaning it was exempt from the standard bidding process. It applies statewide across all counties in New York and is set to be effective from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with the advertising exemption remaining active until November 10, 2025. The contract is managed by the NYS Department of Corrections and Community Supervision, specifically through a designated Contract Management Specialist, Rose Valenti, who serves as the primary contact for any inquiries. Since this contract is not a bid opportunity, all questions or comments about its status as a sole-source or otherwise exempt procurement are to be directed to the agency’s contact person. The contract ensures consistent arbitration services necessary for internal disciplinary and administrative processes throughout the state correctional system.
