📋 WHAT'S IN THIS ISSUE

Issue #35 confirms the pattern Issue #34 flagged and asked us to watch for — and it didn't just repeat, it escalated. Kubricky-Jointa Lime, LLC, which posted two simultaneous solicitations last issue (Amsterdam pedestrian safety and a Brighton culvert), has now posted a third and fourth: a bridge superstructure replacement in Crown Point and a sewer district upgrade in the Town of Moriah. That's four unrelated MWBE/SDVOB solicitations from one prime inside two consecutive cycles.

James H Maloy, Inc. joins the doubled-up-prime club outright, running three simultaneous solicitations this cycle alone — Dutchess County slope failure reconstruction, a Schenectady nursing home garage, and an Albany stormwater separation project. Vernon Construction & Development, Mark Cerrone, Inc., and Carver Construction each posted two apiece.

The multi-door pattern — where two different firms compete to staff the identical scope — also spread to new ground. The RoeJan Kill Riparian Buffer Improvements at Copake area of Taconic State Park now has two doors: Redwood Landscape LLC and Carver Construction, both soliciting the same restoration scope, due a day apart. And CUNY College of Staten Island's Cupola Roof, Lantern & Skylight Restoration — which Issue #34 flagged as a same-week pick for CUBE Construction Services — just gained a second door: GPA Environmental Group Inc., due one week after CUBE's deadline.

On NYC PASSPort, a Commission on Human Rights unarmed security guard RFI is the imminent same-week pick, while DSBS's Construction Site Safety Day Laborer RFP (carried from last issue) still offers the longest runway on the platform.

On the federal side: this issue's SAM.gov pull was unavailable at production time. Both listings flagged in Issue #34 — Historical Medical Claims Data Analysis and JECC Support Services — remain open and are carried forward below. If this holds, it will mark a fifth consecutive cycle at thin federal volume once a fresh pull confirms it.

This cycle it posted two more — a bridge superstructure replacement in Crown Point and a sewer collection system upgrade in Moriah. That's four unrelated MWBE/SDVOB scopes from one prime across two consecutive cycles. Confirm capacity before committing to multiple lanes. Pull CR# 2137150 and CR# 2137153 from NYSCR.

🏗️ James H Maloy, Inc — Three Simultaneous Solicitations CR#: 2137145 (Dutchess County - CR-85 Slope Failure Reconstruction), CR#: 2137135 (County of Schenectady, Glendale Nursing Home Garage), and CR#: 2137159 (City of Albany - Thurlow Terrace Stormwater Sewer Separation Project) | Issue Date: July 15, 2026 | Due Dates: August 7, July 30, and August 4, 2026 | Category: Construction Horizontal | Ad type: Contractor Ads 🔴 MWBE/SDVOB-designated — a new prime joins the doubled-up club, tripled James H Maloy posted three unrelated DBE/MBE/WBE/SDVOB subcontractor solicitations in a single week — a slope failure reconstruction, a nursing home garage, and a stormwater separation project across three different counties. This is the largest single-prime batch flagged to date. Pull CR# 2137145, CR# 2137135, and CR# 2137159 from NYSCR.

💧 RoeJan Kill Riparian Buffer Improvements, Taconic State Park — Two Doors CR#: 2137180 (Redwood Landscape LLC) and CR#: 2137096 (Carver Construction) | Issue Date: July 16 and July 14, 2026 | Due Dates: July 22 and July 21, 2026 | Location: Taconic State Park - Columbia | Category: Construction Horizontal | Ad type: Contractor Ads 🔴 IMMINENT — two firms, one identical scope Redwood Landscape LLC and Carver Construction have each posted MWBE/WBE/DBE/SDVOB subcontractor solicitations for the identical RoeJan Kill riparian buffer restoration at Copake, one day apart on deadlines.

Pull CR# 2137180 and CR# 2137096 from NYSCR before July 21.

🏛️ CUNY College of Staten Island Cupola Restoration — A Second Door Opens CR#: 2137199 (GPA Environmental Group Inc) | Issue Date: July 16, 2026 | Due Date: July 24, 2026 | Location: CSI, 2800 Victory Boulevard, Staten Island, NY 10310 | Category: Construction Vertical | Ad type: Contractor Ads 🟡 MWBE/SDVOB-designated — confirms the multi-door trend Issue #34 flagged CUBE Construction Services posted the original MWBE/SDVOB solicitation for this masonry, roof, and skylight restoration scope in Issue #34 (CR# 2136879, due July 17). GPA Environmental Group Inc. has now posted a second door for the same buildings, due one week later. This is the exact "third door" pattern Issue #34's closing section asked readers to watch for — it materialized on CSI, not SUNY Potsdam. Pull CR# 2137199 from NYSCR.

🏥 Vernon Construction & Development LLC — Two Simultaneous Solicitations CR#: 2137087 (Woodhull Hospital Outposted Therapeutic Housing Units) and CR#: 2137107 (Elmhurst Hospital Entryway Renovation) | Issue Date: July 14, 2026 | Due Dates: August 25 and August 27, 2026 | Location: Brooklyn, NY / Queens, NY | Category: Construction Vertical | Ad type: Contractor Ads 🟢 MWBE/SDVOB-designated — longest runway among this week's doubled-up primes Vernon Construction is soliciting MWBE subcontractors for two unrelated NYC Health + Hospitals renovation scopes, one in Brooklyn and one in Queens, deadlines two days apart in late August.

For MWBE-certified site-work and landscape-construction firms, both lanes are worth a look. Pull CR# 2137119 and CR# 2137141 from NYSCR.

🌱 Carver Construction — Two Simultaneous Solicitations CR#: 2137095 (Spring Pond Dredging, Village of Canajoharie) and CR#: 2137096 (RoeJan Kill Riparian Buffer, Taconic State Park) | Issue Date: July 14, 2026 | Due Dates: July 28 and July 21, 2026 | Category: Construction Horizontal | Ad type: Contractor Ads 🔴 IMMINENT — Carver doubles up, one scope also multi-door Carver Construction is running a dredging solicitation in Canajoharie alongside the RoeJan Kill riparian buffer scope flagged above — where it's competing directly against Redwood Landscape LLC for the same work. For MWBE-certified environmental and site-work firms, the July 21 Taconic deadline is the more urgent of the two. Pull CR# 2137095 and CR# 2137096 from NYSCR.

CD Perry, LLC — Albany Port District Wharf Test Program CR#: 2137045 | Issue Date: July 13, 2026 | Due Date: August 5, 2026 | Location: Glenmont, NY | Category: Construction Horizontal | Ad type: Contractor Ads 🟡 MWBE/SDVOB-designated — single-scope standalone pick CD Perry is soliciting MWBE/SDVOB subcontractors for installation of a wharf test program at the Albany Port District Commission. For MWBE-certified marine and heavy-civil trades, this is a clean three-and-a-half-week runway. Pull CR# 2137045 from NYSCR.

🇺🇸 SECTION 3 — FEDERAL / SAM.GOV (SET-ASIDES) A fresh SAM.gov pull was not available at production time this cycle. Both listings flagged in Issue #34 remain open and are carried forward below. Active SAM.gov registration required.

🟡 Historical Medical Claims Data Analysis — Total Small Business Set-Aside Notice ID: 15BCMS26Q70000005 | Last Published: July 10, 2026 | Due Date: July 23, 2026, 11:00 AM EDT | Set-Aside: Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5) | NAICS: Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services Carried from Issue #34 — closing this week This historical medical claims data analysis support contract closes July 23. For MWBE-certified data-analytics and administrative-consulting firms with federal past performance, this is the closer of the two open listings. Pull Notice ID 15BCMS26Q70000005 from SAM.gov before it closes.

🟡 Joint Enabling Capabilities Command (JECC) Support Services — Total Small Business Set-Aside Notice ID: FA480026R0010 | Last Published: July 9, 2026 | Due Date: July 27, 2026, 1:00 PM EDT | Set-Aside: Total Small Business Set-Aside (FAR 19.5) | NAICS: Administrative Management and General Management Consulting Services Carried from Issue #34 This listing covers management, transportation, tools, supplies, and labor support for JECC's J1 mission. For MWBE-certified program-management and support-services firms, the July 27 deadline gives just over a week. Pull Notice ID FA480026R0010 from SAM.gov.

A note on this week's federal lane: We were unable to complete a fresh SAM.gov pull before this issue went to production. Both listings above are carried forward from Issue #34 and remain open as of July 19. If a new pull confirms no additional listings surfaced, this would mark a fifth consecutive issue at thin federal volume (Issue #31: two Total Small Business plus an 8(a) continuation; #32: one; #33: two, one already closed; #34: two, both Total Small Business, same NAICS). We'll confirm with next issue's pull. Firms leaning on federal set-asides should keep widening their NYC/NYS search in the meantime.

⚠️ IMPORTANT MWBE PROCUREMENT NOTE

Issue #35 draws from NYC PASSPort, the NY State Contract Reporter, and carried-forward SAM.gov listings. Key eligibility reminders across all three layers:

NYC contracts require active PASSPort registration and NYC MWBE certification through NYC SBS for MWBE participation goals. Certification must be active — not pending or expired — at the time of submission.

NYS contracts require NYS MWBE certification through Empire State Development (ESD) — which is separate from NYC SBS certification. The MWBE/SDVOB-designated NYSCR contracts in this issue, including Kubricky-Jointa Lime's four solicitations, James H Maloy's three solicitations, the RoeJan Kill two-door scope, CUNY CSI's second door, Vernon Construction's two solicitations, Mark Cerrone's two solicitations, Carver Construction's two solicitations, and CD Perry, are governed by NYS procurement rules. Confirm which certification layer applies before responding.

Federal contracts do not recognize NYC or NYS MWBE certification. Both carried-forward SAM.gov listings this cycle require only active SAM.gov registration under the Total Small Business Set-Aside — not an MWBE-specific designation. SAM.gov registration is mandatory for any federal contract or subcontract pursuit.

Firms that pursue contracts before resolving certification gaps often lose months correcting eligibility issues after deadlines have passed.

📈 WHAT WE'RE TRACKING NEXT

The doubled-up-prime pattern didn't just repeat — it escalated. Issue #34 named this pattern for the first time with four primes running two solicitations apiece. This issue, Kubricky-Jointa Lime jumped from two to four across consecutive cycles, and James H Maloy debuted with three simultaneous solicitations in a single week — the largest single-prime batch we've flagged to date. Vernon Construction, Mark Cerrone, and Carver Construction each added a standard two-scope pairing. Five-plus primes now running multi-scope batches in the same cycle is no longer an outlier; it's becoming baseline behavior for how these contractors schedule subcontractor outreach.

The multi-door pattern spread to two new projects. Issue #34 closed by asking whether a third door would open on SUNY Potsdam or a fifth contractor would appear double-booking. Neither happened on Potsdam specifically — but the underlying pattern showed up twice elsewhere: CUNY College of Staten Island's cupola restoration gained a second door (GPA Environmental Group, after CUBE Construction Services), and the RoeJan Kill Taconic State Park scope opened with two doors already, Redwood Landscape LLC and Carver Construction competing for the identical restoration work.

The federal lane's fifth-thin-week status is unconfirmed pending a fresh pull. We were unable to complete a new SAM.gov pull for this issue and carried forward both open listings from #34. If next issue's pull returns another thin cycle, that will make five consecutive issues at low federal volume — worth confirming rather than assuming.earch active in the meantime.

The MWBE Report monitors NYC PASSPort, NY State Contract Reporter, and SAM.gov procurement listings weekly to identify time-sensitive opportunities for certified MWBE firms across construction, services, technology, and professional services sectors.
