 AN  ACT to amend the state finance law, in relation to requiring consid-

   THE  PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM-
 BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:
 
   Section 1. Paragraph j of subdivision 1 of section 163  of  the  state
 finance  law,  as amended by section 28 of part  PP of chapter 56 of the
 laws of 2022, is amended to read as follows:
   j. "Best value" means the basis for awarding contracts for services to
 the offerer which optimizes quality, cost and efficiency, among  respon-
 sive and responsible offerers. Such basis shall reflect, wherever possi-
 ble, objective and quantifiable analysis. Such basis may also identify a
 quantitative  factor  for  offerers that are small businesses, certified
 minority- or women-owned business enterprises as defined in subdivisions
 one, seven, fifteen and twenty of section three hundred ten of the exec-
 utive law or  service-disabled  veteran-owned  business  enterprises  as
 defined  in  subdivision  one of section forty of the veterans' services
 law to be used in evaluation of offers for  awarding  of  contracts  for
 services.    SUCH  BASIS  SHALL  ALSO  IDENTIFY AS A QUANTITATIVE FACTOR
 WHETHER THE COMMODITIES OR SERVICES OFFERED WERE MANUFACTURED BY OR WILL
 BE PERFORMED BY MEMBERS OF A LABOR ORGANIZATION AS  DEFINED  IN  SECTION
 TWO HUNDRED NINETY-TWO OF THE EXECUTIVE LAW.
   §  2.  This  act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall
 have become a law; provided, however, that the amendments to paragraph j
 of subdivision 1 of section 163 of the state finance law made by section
 one of this act shall not affect the repeal of such section and shall be
 deemed to be repealed therewith.
