Department Overview: 

NYCEDC’s Minority, Women-Owned and Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (“M/W/DBE”) Program has an ambitious agenda and requires additional capacity to deliver on its vision of maximizing opportunities for M/W/DBE businesses in public procurement, with particular focus on the construction-related trades and services most involved in NYCEDC’s work. This is accomplished through the two main aspects of the program: 

• Compliance & Data Analysis- ensuring access to opportunities and optimization of M/W/DBE participation on NYCEDC’s vast portfolio of projects. The Opportunity M/W/DBE team conducts compliance on over 700 construction and professional services contracts, while working together with departments to develop M/W/DBE engagement strategies in both programmatic goals and procurement opportunities in meeting our internal 35% M/W/DBE participation goal. The Opportunity M/W/DBE team partners with City Agencies to deliver on its City goals to double the city’s current rate of contracting and award $25 billion in contracts to M/WBEs by FY2026 and $60 billion by FY (Fiscal Year) 2030. 

• Capacity Building- Training and assisting M/W/DBE businesses to boost their ability to compete. The Opportunity M/W/DBE team analyzes market trends and business capacity to design programming that will support contractors in their growth and attainment of City contracts.
