📋 WHAT'S IN THIS ISSUE
Issue #35 asked whether a third door would open on either CUNY CSI or RoeJan Kill, or whether a sixth prime would appear double-booking. Neither happened on those two projects specifically — but the underlying multi-door pattern didn't pause. It jumped to two entirely new projects this cycle.
The Keese Mills Road Culvert replacement over Lower St. Regis Lake Inlet now has two firms — Reale Construction Company Inc. and Friend Commercial Contracting Corp — soliciting MWBE/SDVOB subcontractors for the identical scope, both due August 5. And the Albany Port District wharf test program, which CD Perry, LLC posted as a clean standalone pick in Issue #35, just gained a second door: Harrison and Burrowes Bridge Constructors, Inc. posted the same deep-foundation testing scope, due the same day.
Kubricky-Jointa Lime, LLC escalated again. After four simultaneous MWBE/SDVOB solicitations across Issues #34 and #35, it posted a fifth this cycle — a multi-site culvert replacement in the Town of Moriah — extending the longest doubled-up-prime streak flagged to date.
A new dimension also emerged: agency-side doubling. NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports (OASAS) posted two simultaneous Salesforce-related MWBE/SDVOB discretionary procurements this cycle — Discretionary 26016 (Salesforce Advisory Services) and Disc-26015 (Salesforce Resellers, SASMA Project). Where prior issues flagged primes running multiple scopes, this is the first cycle where the agency itself is the one running two related lanes at once.
On the federal side: the fifth-thin-week cliffhanger is resolved, and not the way the streak suggested. A fresh SAM.gov pull returned four new live listings spanning three different set-aside types — Total Small Business, 8(a), and WOSB — the first WOSB and second 8(a) set-aside to appear in this report in recent memory. Of the two listings carried forward from Issues #34–35, Historical Medical Claims Data Analysis closed July 23 without a fresh visible award, and JECC Support Services remains open with an imminent July 27 deadline.

💻 NYS Office of Addiction Services and Supports — Two Simultaneous Salesforce Procurements CR#: 2137414 (Discretionary 26016 — Salesforce Advisory Services, Distributor/Resellers) and CR#: 2137268 (Disc-26015 — MWBE/SDVOB Salesforce Resellers, SASMA Project) | Issue Date: July 24 and July 20, 2026 | Due Dates: August 14 and August 10, 2026 | Location: Albany, NY (largely remote) | Category: Information Technology | Ad type: MWBE or SDVOB Discretionary Procurement ($50,000–$1,500,000) 🔴 MWBE/SDVOB-designated — the doubled-up pattern moves to the agency side Every prior doubled-up-prime example involved a contractor running two scopes. Here, it's the agency: OASAS is running two related Salesforce MWBE/SDVOB discretionary procurements at once. For MWBE-certified IT and Salesforce-reseller firms, both lanes are remote-capable and worth a look. Pull CR# 2137414 and CR# 2137268 from NYSCR.

⚠️ IMPORTANT MWBE PROCUREMENT NOTE
Issue #36 draws from NYC PASSPort, the NY State Contract Reporter, and a fresh SAM.gov pull. 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 five solicitations, the Keese Mills Road two-door scope, the Albany Port District wharf test second door, W.M. Schultz's two-phase solicitation, OASAS's two Salesforce procurements, 4Point Solutions, the Caledonia IRA septic replacement, and Vernon Construction, are governed by NYS procurement rules. Confirm which certification layer applies before responding.
Federal contracts do not recognize NYC or NYS MWBE certification. This cycle's SAM.gov listings span Total Small Business, 8(a), and WOSB set-asides — each with its own eligibility requirements (active SAM.gov registration, SBA 8(a) program certification, or SBA WOSB program certification, respectively). 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 hit its highest count yet — five. Kubricky-Jointa Lime went from two (Issue #34) to four (Issue #35) to five this cycle, all across three consecutive posting weeks. No other prime matched James H Maloy's three-in-a-week debut from Issue #35, but the underlying baseline — primes running multiple unrelated MWBE/SDVOB scopes at once — keeps extending rather than plateauing.
The multi-door pattern spread to two brand-new projects. Issue #35 closed by asking whether a third door would open on CUNY CSI or RoeJan Kill. Neither did — but two fresh multi-door projects appeared instead: Keese Mills Road Culvert (Reale Construction vs. Friend Commercial Contracting) and the Albany Port District wharf test program (CD Perry from Issue #35 now facing Harrison and Burrowes). The pattern isn't tied to specific projects; it's a recurring feature of how these scopes get staffed.
A new pattern emerged: agency-side doubling. Every prior doubled-up example was prime-side. This cycle, OASAS became the first agency flagged running two simultaneous related MWBE/SDVOB procurements (both Salesforce-related) at once. Worth watching whether this is a one-off or whether other agencies start posting parallel discretionary lanes the way primes have been posting parallel scopes.
The federal lane's thin streak broke — and diversified. After four consecutive thin cycles at Total Small Business volume, a fresh SAM.gov pull returned 8(a) and WOSB set-asides for the first time in recent memory, alongside a new Total Small Business listing. One of the two carried-forward listings (Historical Medical Claims Data Analysis) closed without a visible follow-on; the other (JECC) closes this week.
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.
