About this vehicle
The New York State School & Art Supplies Statewide Contract (Solicitation 23297) provides authorized users with a comprehensive procurement vehicle for educational and art-related materials. The contract covers a wide range of products including arts and crafts tools, classroom supplies, easels, chalkboards, marker boards, bulletin boards, flash cards, games and puzzles, paper materials, writing books, teacher resources, and early childhood products. Specific equipment such as laminators and label makers are also available, with a clear focus on Pre-K and K-12 educational environments. The contract explicitly excludes services, specialized books, electronic devices, furniture, audio-visual equipment, computers, and playground equipment, ensuring a targeted approach to educational supply procurement.
The contract is a multiple-award vehicle administered by the New York State Office of General Services (OGS), with 24 prime contractors including Aarco Products, Blick Art Materials, Cascade School Supplies, and Charles J Becker & Bro., among others. The contract period runs from May 29, 2024, to May 28, 2029, with an anticipated annual contract value of approximately $10,000,000. Available to all state agencies, political subdivisions, public authorities, public school and fire districts, and certain nonprofit organizations, the contract provides a statewide procurement mechanism. Contractors may offer either a single or variable percentage discount structure for each product category, with the ability to update pricelists annually after the first contract year.
The individual IDVs under this contract demonstrate a structured approach to procurement, with each contract (e.g., PC70360 (Aarco Products, Inc.) through PC70364 (Clarus Glassboards, LLC)) assigned to a specific prime contractor. These IDVs are classified as Commodity contracts with no specific Minority Business Enterprise (MBE), Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE), or Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) participation goals. Each IDV covers the same comprehensive product scope, providing authorized users with multiple sourcing options. The contracts allow for competitive pricing through quote comparisons, volume discounts, and a diverse set of contractors, ultimately providing New York state entities with a flexible and robust procurement solution for school and art supplies.
