N.Y. General Municipal Law § 109-c: Purchases through county contracts by certain not-for-profit corporations

§ 109-c. Purchases through county contracts by certain not-for-profit

corporations. Not-for-profit corporations that provide a service to a

county are authorized to make purchases or to contract for services

other than services subject to article eight or any provisions of the

labor law and other than purchases of motor fuel, diesel motor fuel or

cigarettes, through the county which the not-for-profit has a contract

with. Such purchases or contracts for services made through a county

contract by a not-for-profit shall directly relate to the service for

which the not-for-profit provides to such county. The county may

establish limitations with respect to commodities and services and

impose such other appropriate conditions upon purchasing as deemed

necessary by the chief fiscal officer of the county in order to protect

the county's own purchasing interests; and such not-for-profit

corporation shall make any purchase pursuant to this section in its own

name and accept sole responsibility for any payment due to the vendor

and such not-for-profit corporation and vendor shall each be responsible

for any tax due with respect to the purchases by the not-for-profit

corporation. Nothing in this section shall be construed as altering any

tax exemption afforded to the not-for-profit corporation or as creating

a principal/agent relationship between the county and not-for-profit

corporation.
