Discretionary Contract Information

City Council discretionary contracts are managed in PASSPort, the City's digital Procurement and Sourcing Solutions Portal. City Council awards must be cleared by the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services (MOCS). More information about the discretionary award process and applying for funding is available on the City Council Discretionary Funding Application and the City Council's Discretionary Policies and Procedures.

Additional information and resources, including discretionary contracting materials, are available online at nyc.gov/passport, within the Learning to Use PASSPort section. Additional information on the discretionary contracting process is available at nyc.gov/nonprofits, within the City Council Discretionary Funding section.

New starting Fiscal Year 2024! The multiyear discretionary contract reform now allows your organization to enter one three-year contract per City agency, potentially eliminating nine months of contracting should your organization receive funds in the outyears. Refer to the Fiscal Year 2024 Multiyear Discretionary Contracting Provider FAQ for more information.
