Where We Fit

New York: Where We Fit as an SDVOB

New York agencies and authorities are modernizing legacy systems while meeting ambitious MWBE and SDVOB goals. As an SDVOB, we plug into existing IT contracts to deliver modernization without adding delivery risk.

Statewide IT & Tech Consulting

OGS IT Umbrella Contract — Lots 1a & 2a reserved for MWBE/SDVOB

New York’s centralized IT and technology consulting contracts fund app development, modernization, and cloud services. We join prime teams as an SDVOB partner to modernize legacy platforms, build DevOps and CI/CD pipelines, and design secure cloud and data solutions.

Agency Modernization & IDIQs

IES transition • $174M ITS budget increase • 295 new FTEs

Agencies issue modernization RFPs and IDIQs for education, DMV, health, and justice systems. We re-architect aging systems, automate key workflows, and stand up dashboards that give leaders real-time visibility into program performance.

MWBE & SDVOB Initiatives

New York's SDVOB and MWBE policies encourage agencies to include certified firms on technology projects. We combine SDVOB participation with high-discipline delivery—vendor analytics, compliance reporting, and automation that prove performance, not just participation.
