How to Bid — what it controls, and what it wants from you

Mayor's Office of Contract Services / PASSPort does not build anything and does not award construction contracts. It is the procurement rules and vendor platform, and it controls citywide vendor enrollment, disclosures, solicitations, contract actions and procurement guidance. That makes it a gate rather than a customer: get it wrong and the job you wanted is gone before anyone reads your number.

Who this applies to

All City contractors and consultants.

What you have to do

Create and maintain a PASSPort account; complete disclosures and enrollment required for the opportunity.

What firms get wrong

This is a rules and platform guide, not an agency capital-budget story.

The official pages

This is a plain-language guide to a public rule, not legal advice. The controlling text is the rule itself and the contract you signed.

The rest of the rules: how to bid in New York. The owners who actually award the work: agencies.
