Welcome to the Mayor's Office of Contract Services
A well-functioning procurement system is vital to the City's ability to deliver the essential services its citizens expect and demand. The Mayor’s Office of Contract Services (MOCS) is the City’s compliance and oversight agency for procurement. In Fiscal 2011, New York City procured almost $15 billion worth of supplies, services, and construction, through almost 55,000 transactions. Our mission is to assist City agencies to comply with procurement rules and achieve their programmatic missions; to improve contract management practices; and to provide technical assistance to agencies and vendors.
