The Graystone contract was a SUNY-wide contract for advertising positions, which expired a few years ago. SUNY has not awarded a new or replacement contract.
As a result, departments will need to request a quote from Graystone and submit the quote with a Purchase Requisition to [email protected]. Purchasing Office will then issue a Purchase Order to the vendor.
All state-funded travel by employees, students, or by campus guests must be preapproved. A travel preapproval form must be submitted and approved before travel is booked or occurs. The form is available on the Forms page. Completed forms should be emailed to [email protected] for approval.
Once approved, travelers will have their travel card funded for their travel or travel arrangers will have their NET card funded for student/campus guest travel and will receive a booking approval code for use with Direct Travel, the SUNY contracted travel agency. Please note: Booking airfare through Direct Travel is mandatory.
