DASNY seeks proposals from firms with experience in designing and delivering comprehensive contractor development programs. Programs should target small, emerging, and established minority and women-owned, service disabled and veteran-owned businesses seeking to participate in public sector procurement. The objective is to introduce and deliver technical assistance and support services to eligible firms, equipping them with best practices necessary to operate as a prime contractor or at higher-tier subcontractor level. This initiative aims to support firms for New York State Public Works government contracting opportunities. In addition, the Small Business Capacity Building Services program seeks to address the unique challenges faced by emerging contractors by defining long-term, sustainable solutions that enable successful delivery of DASNY construction projects.
