Fire Department, FY 2016
September 1, 2016
M/WBE Letter Grade
Letter Grade Overview
FDNY exceeded goals for standard services procurements from Asian American-owned firms and also increased spending with Hispanic American owned-firms in construction. However, the agency fell short of goals in all other categories and barely spent with M/WBEs in professional services. Taken together, these efforts resulted in an overall C grade, an improvement from the D received last year.
