New York Blood Center Amendment

SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University currently contracts with the New York Blood Center to provide Clinical Apheresis Services and Perioperative Autologous Transfusion services at University Hospital in Brooklyn, NY. The university seeks to increase the contract value to cover outstanding invoices and extend the contract period through October 24, 2026. A single source exemption from the usual advertising requirements was granted by the Office of the State Comptroller on October 15, 2025, allowing SUNY DHSU to proceed without competitive bidding due to the unique qualifications of the New York Blood Center as the sole provider. The contract covers services across all counties in New York State, with the primary location of performance at 450 Clarkson Avenue, Brooklyn. The contract amendment was posted on October 16, 2025, and the term of the amended agreement is from October 25, 2024, through October 24, 2026. For any inquiries related to this procurement or exemption, the designated contact at SUNY DHSU is the Contract Officer, reachable via email or phone.
