The Office of Citywide Procurement (OCP) develops, awards, and administers approximately 1,100 requirement contracts for goods and services on behalf of all City agencies, departments, boards, and authorities, leveraging the City’s buying power and maximizing efficiencies by reducing duplicative work. Procures, on average, nearly $1.5 billion in goods and services for City agencies annually.

MWBE Office provides guidance and procedures for agency compliance with all M/WBE procurement requirements. It monitors contractor compliance with the mandates of Local Law 129 of 2005, which created the MWBE program that established utilization goals for prime and subcontracts by sectors, gender, and ethnicity. It helped to increase the number of MWBE firms certified to participate in the City's program from 700 to over 3,000. Local Law 1 of 2013 helps strengthen and expand the MWBE program by eliminating the $1 million cap on subcontracting goals for prime contractors; sets one percentage goal for both prime and subcontractor participation; supports goals for all ethnicities and women in all industries; establishes dual certification for WBEs; eliminates goals for goods over $100k; and now includes goals for standard services.
