C004356 - GMR

Notice of award of Single Source with GMR (Global Music Rights). SUNY is purchasing a blank license agreement from GMR for licensing of copyrighted musical works from 7/1/24-6/30/2026 SUNY is required by the Copyright Law to maintain a license in order to publicly perform these copyrighted works and there are only three entities in the U.S. that administer these licenses, there is no flexibility in terms of price negotiation for this service. Holding a blanket license, however, is a much more cost-effective and efficient approach for the state than pursuing individual licenses with every individual copyright holder of every song SUNY performs publicly.
