Updates May include: adding new Products; deleting obsolete Products; increase pricing which do not decrease the awarded Percentage Discount for a Product Line); lowering pricing of Products already on Contract, changes to authorized Dealer/Distributor list; and other updates not listed above that are deemed to be in the best interest of the State and do not result in a change to the established Contract terms and conditions. Updates must be submitted to the OGS Contract Administrator for review and OGS will notify Contractor in writing if approved.

b) AMENDMENTS: “Amendments” is an agreement by an existing Contractor to new terms and conditions either issued as part of a Periodic Recruitment or by Procurement Services in accordance with §6.19 CONTRACT UPDATES. The process for submitting and processing Amendments involving Periodic Recruitment will be included in the Periodic Recruitment version of IFB 23155.

a) PRICING UPDATES:

i. PRICING INCREASES AND DECREASES:

Thereafter, Contractors May request to update their price list when the Manufacturer’s Nationally Published Price List is published reflecting updated (increased or decreased) List Price/MSRP for particular Products.

The Contractor will insert the new List Price/MSRP for the Product into its NYS Net Pricing Pages and multiply this by the awarded Percentage Discount to calculate the updated NYS Net Pricing.

Contractors Must not decrease their Percentage Discount(s) for the entire term of the Contract.

The awarded Percentage Discount May be increased by the Contractor at any time during the Contract term and Contractors will be permitted to reduce their pricing at any time during the Contract term.
