PASSPort

Introducing PASSPort! The Mayor’s Office of Contract Services (MOCS) is launching a new online procurement tool, the Procurement and Sourcing Solutions Portal (PASSPort), moving VENDEX online. PASSPort makes it easier for vendors to submit and keep disclosure documents up-to-date. PASSPort will allow Agencies to make determinations for contract awards and complete performance evaluations online. Visit nyc.gov/passport for updates on PASSPort. For additional information, email the PASSPort support team at passport@mocs.nyc.gov.

VENDEX questionnaires are required for procurements valued at $100,000 or more; or if the vendor's aggregate business with the City in the preceding 12 months totals $100,000 or more. Full VENDEX questionnaires are valid for three years from the date of signature. Vendors are required to update their forms with each new award. If any of the information has changed since the prior filing, the vendor must submit "changed questionnaires." If no information has changed since the prior filing, the vendor must submit a "Certificate of No Change."
