Quick Decision Flow
- Sole Source: If sale is less than $22,001, use sole source. If your solution is unique/proprietary for utility operations (especially the Hydro Plant), partner with the Utility Committee, submit a sole-source justification to waive bidding, and obtain City Council approval (> $22,001). If no sole source: Prepare for a direct competitive bid via the City’s Bids and Notices portal and plan to overcome a 5% local vendor preference.
- Coops: Frequently procures through Sourcewell and OMNIA; you can gain access through the Starbridge reseller & contract-vehicle platform — reach out to your Starbridge contact to pursue onboarding.
Registered vendors: NYC's Vendor Enrollment Center processes W-9 and PIP registration in 3-5 business days for prime bidders.
MOCS threshold triggers a formal RFx workflow — plan for 60-90 days from solicitation to award depending on category.
