Letter Grade Overview
DDC has one of the largest procurement budgets in the entire City and spent over $113 million during the fiscal year with M/WBEs. The agency improved last year’s grade from a D to a C by increasing it spend with Hispanic American and Women-owned firms. DDC has also taken steps to develop its procurement infrastructure, such as hiring a Chief Diversity Officer (CDO) in charge of M/WBE procurement and revamping the agency website to highlight M/WBE opportunities.
