About this opportunity
The state of New York has issued a sole-source contract opportunity for legal services, specifically awarding a one-year contract to Jenner & Block LLP through an exemption request (CNY01-0000491-3330221) from standard procurement advertising requirements. The contract opportunity, identified by State Local Contract Opportunity ID 68529103cd540e672e0905c6, was posted on June 18, 2025, and will be open for response until July 3, 2025, covering all New York State counties. The procurement has been granted an exemption under Section 144(2)(e) of the Economic Development Law by the Office of the State Comptroller, indicating a specialized legal service requirement that cannot be met through standard competitive bidding processes. While specific deliverables and detailed service requirements are not explicitly outlined in the provided documentation, the contract appears to be a targeted legal services engagement with Jenner & Block LLP as the designated service provider. The exemption suggests a unique or specialized legal need that necessitates direct engagement with this specific law firm.
Given the sole-source nature of the contract, there are no apparent set-aside designations or competitive restrictions for other vendors. The procurement is specifically directed to Jenner & Block LLP, effectively precluding other legal service providers from participating in this opportunity. No specific budget range or award value is disclosed in the documentation, though the one-year contract term implies a defined engagement period. The contract does not indicate any requirements for disadvantaged enterprise participation or specific integration with existing technological infrastructure. Interested parties with questions or comments about this sole-source procurement are directed to contact the specific contracting agency or public authority, though direct contact information is not provided in the current documentation. The unique procurement method suggests a highly specialized legal service requirement that the state has determined can only be effectively fulfilled by Jenner & Block LLP.
