Department of Citywide Administrative Services, FY 2015
September 1, 2015
M/WBE Letter Grade
Letter Grade Overview
DCAS, which has one of the largest procurement budgets in the City, for the most part did a commendable job spending with every type of M/WBE in each spending category. Yet, despite spending over $30 million with M/WBE firms, because of the sheer size of its budget, the agency only met spending goals with Asian American-owned firms in the construction category. As a result, the agency’s overall grade was a D.
