According to the White House, during the 2020 fiscal year, the U.S. Federal government spent nearly $600 billion on good and services. Although these are larger scale purchasing decisions than those of the state of New York, they stand to provide an example of how investment and innovation can be spurred through government contracts.

The Office of the New York State Comptroller offers that state contracts can provide many necessities for local governments and school districts like road salt, fuel, vehicles, heavy equipment, food, furniture, computer hardware and software, and much more. These goods and services contracts fall intro one of three general categories: commodities, service, and technology.

In addition to potential monetary savings, New York State contracts meet the competitive bidding requirements of New York State General Municipal Law. Thus, local governments and school districts have assurance that the necessary research, solicitation, and negotiation has been done! The U.S. Small Business Administration (SBA) notes that the government wants to buy from or contract with small business for several reasons, including:

• To ensure that large businesses don’t “muscle out” small businesses
• To gain access to the new ideas that small businesses provide
• To support small businesses as engines of economic development and job creation
