So here's one worth knowing about if you're a plumbing contractor: NYCHA — that's the Housing Authority — is bidding out an IDIQ contract for plumbing services across its developments citywide, with a focus on Borough of Manhattan Neighborhood #9.
An IDIQ, by the way, just means Indefinite Delivery, Indefinite Quantity — NYCHA doesn't promise you a set amount of work up front, they call on you as jobs come up under the contract. This one's set up as a Job Order Contract, or JOC, which works the same way: you're on call for plumbing work at NYCHA developments and facilities across the city, with this particular contract weighted toward that Manhattan neighborhood.
The solicitation number is 515813-2, listed under Construction Related Services. Bids close November 19 at 10:00 AM.
Here's the thing that jumps out: NYCHA ran essentially the same setup last year. PIN#515813 covered Citywide with a Manhattan Neighborhood #9 focus, with bids due November 20, 2025, at 10:00 AM — alongside a companion PIN#515812 for Manhattan Neighborhood #4. So this is a repeat contract cycle, not a one-off. If you bid the last round, or if you've been meaning to get into NYCHA's JOC plumbing work, this is your next shot.
The posting doesn't give a dollar value or specific M/WBE goals, so check the solicitation documents directly for that.
If plumbing is your trade and you want steady NYCHA work, get the solicitation documents now, line up your paperwork, and get your bid in before 10:00 AM on November 19.
