Purchase Order Terms & Conditions

Purchase Order (Form AC-130) Notice to College Suppliers

As a New York State agency, all purchase orders from SUNY Geneseo are exempt from certain Federal taxes and New York State local taxes, pursuant to Article 28 and 29 of the New York State Tax Law.

SUNY Geneseo purchase orders must be accepted in lieu of tax exemption certificates with the supplier retaining a copy to prove that the sale was exempt.  Do not include taxes from which the State is exempt when submitting invoices.

Summary of Payment Provisions

Section 179 of the State Finance Law requires New York State to pay suppliers in a manner consistent with accepted business practices.  Specifically, the law requires that when suppliers are not paid within 30 calendar days (excluding legal holidays) after delivery of conforming goods/services and receipt of a proper invoice, interest will begin to accrue.  Interest will be calculated using the "overpayment rate" set by the Commissioner of Taxation and Finance.  Interest will only be paid when it exceeds $10 per invoice and when payment is made directly by the State rather than through an intermediary organization, such as the Trustee for Certificates of Participation, issued pursuant to Article5-A of the State Finance Law.

New York State is an Equal Opportunity/Affirmative Action Employer.
