Engineering personnel for Summer Sea Term

SUNY Maritime College is seeking to establish a contract with a vendor for engineering personnel to support its Summer Sea Term program, with a total procurement authority of up to $125,000. The contract will be awarded without a formal competitive bidding process, relying instead on the college's discretionary authority under New York State law. The procurement process emphasizes strict adherence to NYS Finance Law §§139 j & k, also known as the Lobbying Law, which restricts contact to a designated individual, Donovan Lorde, the Director of Purchasing, to prevent violations that could result in contract denial or debarment. The contract is set to last four months, with a due date for responses by July 2, 2025, and will be executed across all New York State counties at the college's Bronx location. Notably, no vendors with a history of similar contracts within the past five years are eligible or have previously been awarded such a contract. The solicitation is posted under the title "Engineering personnel for Summer Sea Term," and interested vendors can find further details through the provided online link.
