How does NYC DCAS buy goods and supplies?

DCAS uses different procurement methods based on the type and value of the purchase, including micro purchases, small purchases, competitive sealed bids, requests for proposals, and intergovernmental procurements. DCAS also manages citywide requirements contracts that agencies can use for recurring needs. For GoVets customers, the most relevant path is often an existing NYC DCAS requirements contract and PASSPort catalog when the requested item is included in the applicable Power Tools or Fleet Maintenance catalog.
