Doing Business with NYCHA

NYCHA recognizes the importance of private sector businesses in providing goods and services to meet the needs of those who reside in its public housing developments throughout the five boroughs and NYCHA administered Section 8 Leased Housing Program. It is NYCHA’s policy that all procurement transactions be conducted in a manner providing for full and open competition.

Advance notice of an important upcoming change: Beginning Spring 2025, all vendors will be required to have a NYC.gov account (NYC.ID) to access NYCHA’s iSupplier and eComply systems. This change will improve security and simplify access with a single log in for City systems. Prepare now— create your NYC.gov account (NYC.ID) at https://www1.nyc.gov/account or reset your password at https://www1.nyc.gov/account/forgotPassword.htm. Be sure to use the same email address you currently use to log in to NYCHA’s systems.

Virtual Logbook System for Vendors 

NYCHA implemented a virtual logbook system to enhance efficiency and promote transparency. This enhancement is part of NYCHA’s efforts to leverage technology to modernize our operations and streamline onsite processes for both NYCHA and our valued vendors.    

All vendors and their sub-contractors performing work at a NYCHA development must fill out the pre-check-in form and the virtual check-in and check-out form. Vendors can access the latter form on-site by scanning a QR code with any internet-connected device. This online form replaces the paper logbooks previously used at the developments.  

Pre-Check-In Form:   

The designated supervisor for all vendors (and their sub-contractors) must complete a pre-check-in form online at least 24 hours before any site visit, including scheduled visits. The pre-check-in form link is: https://forms.office.com/g/1btDLfEX41 

Virtual Check-In and Check-Out  

  • The online form, accessible via a QR code at the site, replaces the paper logbooks previously used.  
  • This form must be completed upon arrival and departure from the site by the contractor and each sub-contractor.  
  • This requirement certifies the accuracy and truthfulness of the provided information. Non-compliance or submission of false information will be considered a violation of the contract.  

For guidance on how to complete these processes, please review the step-by-step instructions in the following documents.
