  Section 1. Paragraph (a) of subdivision 2 of section 112 of the  state
finance  law,  as  amended  by section 18 of part L of chapter 55 of the
laws of 2012, is amended to read as follows:
  (a) Before any contract made for or by any state  agency,  department,
board, officer, commission, or institution, except the office of general
services,  shall be executed or become effective, whenever such contract
exceeds fifty thousand dollars in amount and before  any  contract  made
for  or  by  the  office of general services shall be executed or become
effective, whenever such contract exceeds eighty-five  thousand  dollars
in  amount,  it  shall first be approved by the comptroller and filed in
his or her office, with the exception  of  contracts  established  as  a
centralized  contract  through  the  office  of  general  services  [and
purchase orders or other  procurement  transactions  issued  under  such
centralized  contracts] THAT WERE NOT AWARDED AS THE RESULT OF AN ALTER-
NATIVE PROCUREMENT. The comptroller shall make a final written  determi-
nation  with  respect to approval of such contract within ninety days of
the submission of such contract to his or her office  unless  the  comp-
troller  shall  notify, in writing, the state agency, department, board,
officer, commission, or institution, prior  to  the  expiration  of  the
ninety  day  period, and for good cause, of the need for an extension of
not more than fifteen days, or a reasonable period of time agreed to  by
such  state  agency, department, board, officer, commission, or institu-
tion and provided, further, that such written determination or extension
shall be made part of the procurement record pursuant to paragraph f  of
