A single award contract results from a competitively solicited procurement where the agency runs a full, open process (e.g., RFP) and awards to only one vendor.
In New York State, cooperative contracts must follow a single award structure. Unlike other states that allow multi-award cooperative contracts, New York law currently requires that public agencies purchase from contracts awarded to a single vendor through a competitive solicitation. This approach ensures that each cooperative contract maintains a clear line of compliance, accountability, and transparency, while eliminating the need for agencies to navigate multiple awardees under one agreement.
GovMVMT has a range of single award contracts that agencies across the state can use with confidence, knowing each one has been competitively solicited and awarded by a lead public agency. These contracts give agencies the benefits of cooperative purchasing—time savings, cost efficiency, and access to vetted suppliers—while remaining compliant with state regulations.
