NYCHA Pre-Qualified Lists

The Supply Management Department oversees all procurement activities, including NYCHA’s Pre-Qualified Lists (PQL).

What is a Pre-Qualified List?

A Pre-Qualified List (PQL) is a tool that NYCHA will use to qualify vendors and contract goods or services for its developments, streamlining the process for both vendors and NYCHA. NYCHA will publish contracting opportunities, and the PQL will predominantly be used to procure goods or services for those contracts. Vendors who apply to those bids must pre-qualify according to specific criteria, and vendors who are admitted to the PQL can bid on contracts.

How does a PQL work?

All contractors interested in NYCHA’s PQLs must follow two important steps:

  • First, vendors must prepare and submit applications to the PQL: To pre-qualify, vendors must meet the minimum requirements listed on the Request for Qualification of the select PQL. Applications will be evaluated by NYCHA on a rolling basis.
  • Second, vendors who are admitted to the PQL can then bid on solicitations for services on the PQL: Vendors must bid on each contract award, as these are not guaranteed.

PQLs available at NYCHA:

How does NYCHA engage with Section 3 Business Concerns & Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises for its PQLs?

To maximize the participation of Section 3 Business Concerns (S3BC) and Minority- and Women-owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE), NYCHA follows a “S3BC & M/WBE First” policy. This policy ensures that S3BC and M/WBE firms are prioritized during solicitation of vendors for micro and small purchases (see NYCHA’s Procurement Policy Manual to view information about micro and small purchases).

To qualify as an M/WBE for the purposes of NYCHA’s PQLs, a contractor must be certified through NYC’s M/WBE certification administered through NYC Small Business Services. For information or to become a NYC-certified M/WBE, please visit the NYC Small Business Services: M/WBE Certification page. For information about registering as an S3BC, please visit NYCHA’s website and view NYCHA’s List of Section 3 Business Concerns or the HUD Section 3 Opportunity Portal.
