Fire Department, FY 2015
September 1, 2015
M/WBE Letter Grade
Letter Grade Overview
FDNY exceeded goals for standard services procurements from Asian American-owned firms and goods procurement with Hispanic American-owned firms. However, the agency fell short of goals in all other categories and barely spent with M/WBEs in construction or professional services. Low spend in these categories kept the agency in the D grade range for the second year despite positive efforts like hiring a Chief Diversity Officer (CDO).
