The New York State Office of Cannabis Management has obtained an exemption from the New York State Office of State Comptroller to bypass advertising requirements in the New York State Contract Reporter. This single-source exemption allows the agency to continue contracting with Whiteman Osterman and Hanna LLP for the provision of existing legal services. The procurement is identified by solicitation number 2139670 and falls under NAICS code 541110. The period of performance for these services is established from October 1, 2024, through December 31, 2026, with the work being performed state-wide. Administrative oversight for the contract is managed by Sabrina Nardacci, an Administrative Specialist 1. Because this is a notice of an exempt procurement, there are no open solicitation instructions or evaluation factors for other offerors.
