is defined in § 163 of the New York State Finance Law, to
a responsive and responsible bidder or offeror in the manner provided

the "Piggybacking" law. All such procurements shall be reviewed by
the applicable department head and Village Attorney for determination
as to whether the best value contract complies New York State law.
