Contracting Opportunities

The New York City Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) invests in a network of community based organizations and programs to alleviate the effects of poverty and provide opportunities for New Yorkers and communities to flourish.

DYCD contracts with various community-based organizations that provide services and activities for youth and low-income populations.

Doing Business with the City of New York

To do business with the City of New York, organizations need to create a vendor account in the City’s Payee Information Portal (PIP) (to get paid) and also in Procurement and Sourcing Solutions Portal (PASSPort) (for all other contracting actions, including completing vendor disclosures, finding and responding to contracting opportunities, signing the contract upon contract award, and much more). The Mayor’s Office of Contract Services (MOCS) developed and maintains PASSPort.

Learn more about PASSPort and contracting with NYC – visit the MOCS website: Getting Started: An Introduction to Doing Business with the City of New York

To view contracting opportunities, visit the PASSPort Public Portal.

Note: A PASSPort account is required to respond to solicitations (RFx). Organizations looking to respond to Health and Human Services (HHS) solicitations need to have an approved HHS Prequalification Application in PASSPort.

Need Help or Have a Question?

  • For assistance with PIP, please refer to the PIP website.
  • For PASSPort learning resources, visit MOCS Learning to Use PASSPort.  For technical assistance when using PASSPort, submit an inquiry to the MOCS Service Desk.
  • For assistance regarding solicitations (RFx), reach out to the soliciting City Agency via the email address listed for the relevant RFx in PASSPort, or post a question via the Discussion Forum of the RFx.

Saturday Night Lights (SNL)Program

The New York Police Department (NYPD) partnered with the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD), the City's District Attorneys, and community-based organizations to open gyms and expand its "Saturday Night Lights" (SNL) program. SNL is a summer program that provides access to free youth sports programming on Saturday nights. In response to the Mayor's commitment to address gun violence, DYCD is expanding SNL to a site in Far Rockaway where there is an immediate need. DYCD is looking to proceed with an award to Arverne Church of God, Inc. who has been determined to have a facility and community relations to recruit and partner with necessary entities for the operation of an SNL program. Those who are interested in knowing more about the SNL programing and any upcoming opportunities may visit the Contracting Opportunities page on DYCD's website at www.nyc.gov/dycd

If you are interested in obtaining or applying to any of the above RFPs, you may do so via the PASSPort system.  All proposals must be submitted using the PASSPort system
