CUNY

Every open CUNY bid, who is winning what, and how to get in the door — one page

City University of New York is a public university system and construction owner. It builds and controls college buildings, laboratories, classrooms, roofs, facades, accessibility and campus systems. If your trade is on that list, this page is its scoreboard: what is open now, what just got awarded and for how much, and what it takes to bid.

Always confirm dates on the agency's own posting before pricing a job — dates move, and addenda are what move them. Full board: The RFP Wire.

How to bid at CUNY

Get registered first

CUNY and NYS procurement requirements; qualification rules vary by project. A missing registration is the most common reason an otherwise good bid is thrown out as non-responsive, and it is the part that takes weeks rather than days — start it before the job you want is posted, not after.

The trades this owner actually buys

General building; HVAC; plumbing; electrical; laboratories; elevators; roofing; facade; interiors.

Read the notice, never assume the goals

M/WBE, DBE and SDVOB participation goals are set contract by contract and depend on the funding source behind the job. They are printed on each solicitation notice. Read the notice every time — a standard number does not exist.
