M/WBE Small Purchases

The NYPD is committed to the success of the Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (M/WBE) Program. It is an important priority for the NYPD to ensure an increase of M/WBE utilization in its contracting process. In January 2024, the City's Procurement Policy Board Rules (PPB) were amended to allow for direct purchases of goods, services and construction from City–certified M/WBEs up to $1,500,000.

Below is a list of NYPD anticipated M/WBE Noncompetitive Small Purchase Opportunities (up to $1,500,000) open to NYC Certified M/WBE vendors only. Please email all Expressions of interest with your vendor contact information to: mwbe@nypd.org. In your e-mail, please (1) specify the procurement(s) below in which you are interested, and (2) please attach a copy of your current New York City M/WBE Certification to your e-mail.
