NYC MWBE RFP & Government Contract Opportunities | June 2026 • Week 2 | CUBE Construction's Brooklyn CUNY Cluster, NYCHA Pump Repair IDIQ, MTA Design-Build & Federal Small Business Set-Asides Edition | 200+ Active Bids Across NYC, NYS & Federal

NYC • NYS • Federal • Time-Sensitive • MWBE-Relevant Procurement Intelligence

The second week of June opens with a pattern shift on the federal side and a new construction prime emerging at the top of the NYS Contract Reporter: CUBE Construction Services LLC has posted three concurrent MWBE subcontractor solicitations across Brooklyn and Downtown Brooklyn CUNY and City University facilities — the 6th Floor Renovation and Asbestos Abatement at NYC College of Technology, the Pearl Building Bathroom Renovations and Asbestos Abatement at City Tech (also 259 Adams Street), and the NAMM Building MEP Upgrades at 300 Jay Street. All three are Construction Vertical. All three are flagged as Contractor Ads. All three carry SDVOB-eligible designations. All three close by June 12 — meaning the active window for this prime is this week only.

CUBE's emergence mirrors the Lanmark pattern flagged in Issue #28: when a single prime posts three concurrent solicitations in the same geography within days of each other, that is infrastructure, not coincidence. For MWBE-certified abatement, MEP, interior trades, and specialty construction firms with Downtown Brooklyn operational capacity, CUBE is the relationship target of the week.

On the NYC PASSPort front, NYCHA has posted an IDIQ contract for pump repair and replacement — an indefinite-quantity mechanical vehicle covering NYCHA developments citywide with a Manhattan focus. This is the kind of recurring-revenue infrastructure contract that certified mechanical and facilities firms should be tracking as a pipeline asset, not a one-time bid.

The MTA brings a significant design-build procurement this cycle: the Design-Build Services for Station State of Good Repair Work – Package 2, a major capital vehicle with a July 7 close and significant MWBE participation requirements built into the contract structure. This is one of the highest-value opportunities in Issue #29.

On the federal side, Issue #29 marks a notable shift from the prior two cycles: there are no WOSB, 8(a), or HUBZone set-asides in the current SAM.gov export. All five active federal opportunities carry Total Small Business Set-Aside designations — including a graphic design services RFQ from the Department of the Interior (closes June 10), a targeted advertising and AI capabilities contract from the Army National Guard (closes June 22), and an international tactical training contract from the State Department's INL bureau. The absence of named SBA program designations this week is itself editorial: federal small business compliance pressure has shifted to the base designation layer, and firms with active SAM.gov registration but without WOSB, 8(a), or HUBZone status now have a direct lane.

Issue #29 is a short-window week. The CUBE solicitations close by Thursday. The PASSPort mechanical IDIQ is live. The MTA design-build window is open. Firms that are positioned move now.👉 Explore our full guide to NYC MWBE RFP & Government Contract Opportunities: https://www.mwbereport.com/p/new-post-d4aa

🔧 IDIQ Contract for Pump Repair and Replacement (HMSD) — Citywide with Manhattan Focus — NYCHA

CR#: 2135690 | Agency: New York City Housing Authority | Division: Supply Management Procurement Department | Issue Date: June 4, 2026 | Due Date: July 9, 2026 | Location: Citywide, Manhattan Focus | Type: General | Category: Construction Vertical

🟢 NYCHA citywide mechanical IDIQ — pump repair, recurring-revenue vehicle

NYCHA is procuring an indefinite-delivery, indefinite-quantity contract for pump repair and replacement services across its Housing Maintenance and Systems Division (HMSD) developments citywide, with a primary focus on Manhattan neighborhoods. IDIQ vehicles are among the most strategically valuable contracts in the MWBE market: they establish a recurring relationship with the agency rather than a single project award, and they generate ongoing task orders without a separate competitive bid for each job. For MWBE-certified mechanical, plumbing, and facilities maintenance firms with NYCHA system experience or equivalent public housing authority work, this is a pipeline asset worth a careful PASSPort pull. The July 9 deadline gives you one month of runway. Pull from PASSPort under CR# 2135690 and confirm NYCHA Vendor Eligibility before submitting.

🏗️ SMPD_PS_RFP 518114 — Development and Implementation of Renovation, Repair and Painting Training Course(s) — NYCHA

🟡 NYCHA professional services RFP — training program development, citywide

NYCHA is soliciting for the development and implementation of renovation, repair, and painting training courses across its citywide portfolio. This is a professional services and educational services contract — not construction — making it directly relevant for MWBE-certified training providers, workforce development firms, and professional services organizations with construction trade curriculum experience. NYCHA training contracts often carry participation requirements for MWBE instructors and program partners. The July 7 close gives you four weeks. Pull from PASSPort under CR# 2135303.

🎭 Music and Performing Arts Program RFP — Administration for Children's Services

06826P0004 | Agency: Administration for Children's Services | Issue Date: June 1, 2026 | Due Date: June 30, 2026 | Location: Citywide | Type: Competitive Sealed Proposal | Category: Human/Client Service

🟡 ACS arts programming RFP — human services prime lane, June 30 close

The Administration for Children's Services is soliciting a music and performing arts program for youth in ACS care or supervision.

81626P0019 | Agency: Department of Health and Mental Hygiene | Issue Date: June 3, 2026 | Due Date: July 15, 2026 | Type: Competitive Sealed Proposal | Category: Professional Services

🟢 DOHMH public health community leadership RFP — professional services, six-week runway

The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is soliciting for the development of a public health community leadership sector through a competitive sealed proposal process. This is a professional services contract with community engagement, health equity, and leadership development scope — a direct lane for MWBE-certified public health consulting, community-based organizations, and professional services firms with health sector experience. Emergency management consulting is the classified category — pull directly from PASSPort before July 15 for the full scope description.

🔵 SDVOB OPPORTUNITY — NYCCT 6th Floor Renovation and Asbestos Abatement — CUBE Construction Services LLC

CR#: 2135764 | Company: CUBE Construction Services LLC | Issue Date: June 5, 2026 | Due Date: June 10, 2026 | Location: 259 Adams Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 | Category: Construction Vertical | Ad type: Contractor Ads

🔴 SDVOB-designated — City Tech Brooklyn — abatement and renovation — closes Tuesday

CUBE Construction Services LLC is soliciting SDVOB subcontractors for the NYC College of Technology 6th Floor Renovation and Asbestos Abatement at 259 Adams Street in Downtown Brooklyn. This is a high-compliance, hazmat-adjacent scope — abatement work in an occupied institutional facility requires licensed subcontractors with documented safety protocols and active certifications. This is the first of three concurrent CUBE solicitations active this cycle — the volume signals an internal MWBE/SDVOB compliance infrastructure running in parallel across multiple City University projects. The June 10 deadline is this Tuesday. For SDVOB-certified abatement, renovation, and specialty trades firms with institutional facility experience in Brooklyn, contact CUBE immediately. Do not wait.

🔵 SDVOB OPPORTUNITY — CUNY NYC College of Technology Pearl Building Bathroom Renovations & Associated Asbestos Abatement — CUBE Construction Services LLC

CR#: 2135776 | Company: CUBE Construction Services LLC | Issue Date: June 5, 2026 | Due Date: June 10, 2026 | Location: 259 Adams Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 | Category: Construction Vertical | Ad type: Contractor Ads

🔴 SDVOB-designated — City Tech Pearl Building, Brooklyn — bathroom renovation + abatement — closes Tuesday

CUBE Construction's second concurrent solicitation covers bathroom renovation and asbestos abatement at the NYC College of Technology Pearl Building — also located at 259 Adams Street, Downtown Brooklyn. This is the same building complex as the 6th Floor solicitation, with a different scope. For MWBE-certified plumbing, tile, bathroom finishes, and abatement firms, the proximity of the two solicitations means a single firm with the right trade package can respond to both CUBE solicitations simultaneously — maximizing the relationship value of a single outreach. Close is June 10. Contact CUBE today.

🔵 SDVOB OPPORTUNITY — NAMM Building MEP Upgrades — CUBE Construction Services LLC

CR#: 2135778 | Company: CUBE Construction Services LLC | Issue Date: June 5, 2026 | Due Date: June 12, 2026 | Location: 300 Jay Street, Brooklyn, NY 11201 | Category: Construction Vertical | Ad type: Contractor Ads

🟡 SDVOB-designated — 300 Jay Street, Brooklyn — MEP upgrades — closes Thursday

CUBE Construction's third concurrent solicitation covers mechanical, electrical, and plumbing upgrades at the NAMM Building at 300 Jay Street — one block from the City Tech complex. This is a different trade cluster: MEP contractors rather than abatement. For MWBE-certified mechanical, electrical, and plumbing subcontractors with Downtown Brooklyn institutional project experience, this is a direct lane from a prime that is running structured SDVOB compliance across three projects simultaneously. The June 12 close gives you one additional day beyond the City Tech pair. Pull CR# 2135778 from NYSCR and contact CUBE directly.

🏗️ A37882: Design-Build Services for Station State of Good Repair Work – Package 2 — MTA NYC Transit

CR#: 2135722 | Agency: MTA – NYC Transit (NYCT) | Issue Date: June 2, 2026 | Due Date: July 7, 2026 | Category: Construction Vertical | Ad type: General

🟢 MTA design-build — subway station rehabilitation — major capital vehicle, MWBE participation built-in

The MTA is procuring Design-Build Services for its Station State of Good Repair Work Program, Package 2 — a major capital contract covering subway station rehabilitation across the NYC Transit system. MTA design-build contracts are among the highest-value opportunities in the NYS construction market: they typically carry MWBE participation goals of 30% or higher, require subcontractor certification at the prime level, and generate substantial work across civil, electrical, architectural, and specialty trades. For MWBE-certified construction firms at all scales — from prime-qualified GCs to certified specialty subcontractors — the July 7 deadline provides four weeks of positioning runway. Pull CR# 2135722 from NYSCR or contact MTA procurement directly and request the DB solicitation documents.

🏛️ Design-Build: CM Build for the Staten Island Museum RFQ — DDC / Public Buildings

85026Q0001 | Agency: Department of Design and Construction | Issue Date: June 5, 2026 | Due Date: August 12, 2026 | Type: Design-Build | Category: Construction Vertical

🟢 DDC design-build — Staten Island Museum — Brownsville Recreation Center, the longest runway this cycle

NYC DDC is soliciting design-build construction management for the Staten Island Museum project. Design-build vehicles from DDC are among the most MWBE-accessible large-scale procurement formats in the city: they allow firms to team early in the process and build MWBE participation into the team structure before the RFQ close. The August 12 deadline is the longest runway in this issue. For MWBE-certified construction management, design-build GCs, and professional services firms with cultural institution or civic facility experience, begin team-building and qualification preparation now. Pull from PASSPort.

🏗️ CSB 210 Joralemon Street Sidewalk Elevator Replacement Rebid — Citywide Administrative Services

CR#: 85626B0011 | Agency: Department of Citywide Administrative Services | Issue Date: June 2, 2026 | Due Date: July 30, 2026 | Type: Competitive Sealed Bid | Category: Elevator/Escalator Installation, Maintenance and Repair Services

🟡 DCAS elevator replacement — downtown Brooklyn government building — rebid, two-month runway

The Department of Citywide Administrative Services is rebidding the sidewalk elevator replacement at 210 Joralemon Street — a government office building in Downtown Brooklyn. This is a rebid, meaning the prior solicitation did not result in a successful award — likely due to pricing or qualification issues, which sometimes creates more accessible entry points for MWBE-certified elevator contractors. For certified elevator, vertical transportation, and specialty trades firms, the July 30 close provides ample preparation time. Pull CR# 85626B0011 from PASSPort.

🏥 NOWDiagnostics First To Know Syphilis Test Kits — DOHMH

The NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene is procuring NOWDiagnostics First To Know Syphilis Test Kits through a competitive sealed bid. This is a goods procurement vehicle — relevant for MWBE-certified medical supply distributors and healthcare goods firms with PASSPort registration. Pull from PASSPort under CR# 81626B0005 before July 2.

🟡 MWBE/SDVOB-designated — Town of Thompson, Sullivan County — wastewater treatment upgrade

W.M. Schultz Construction is soliciting MWBE and SDVOB subcontractors for the Kiamesha Lake Wastewater Treatment Plant Upgrade Project in the Town of Thompson, Sullivan County. This is a second W.M. Schultz concurrent solicitation this cycle — they also have the Gloversville Water Works listing (CR# 2135832) active simultaneously. For certified plumbing, civil, mechanical, and utilities firms with upstate New York operational reach, Schultz is running a multi-project MWBE compliance cycle similar to the Lanmark pattern in NYC.

⚠️ IMPORTANT MWBE PROCUREMENT NOTE

Issue #29 draws from NYC PASSPort, the NY State Contract Reporter, and SAM.gov. 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 the CUBE solicitations at CUNY/City Tech and the W.M. Schultz water infrastructure listings, are governed by NYS procurement rules. Confirm which certification layer applies before responding.

Federal contracts do not recognize NYC or NYS MWBE certification. Federal set-asides — this cycle, all Total Small Business (FAR 19.5) — are administered by the SBA. SAM.gov registration is mandatory for any federal contract or subcontract pursuit. No named SBA program designations (WOSB, 8(a), HUBZone) are active in this cycle's export.

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

🔗 RELATED MWBE PROCUREMENT RESOURCES

The CUBE Construction cluster: Three concurrent SDVOB solicitations from a single prime across two Brooklyn CUNY/City University addresses — 259 Adams Street and 300 Jay Street — in a single week. This mirrors the Lanmark pattern from Issue #28: structured MWBE compliance infrastructure running in parallel with an active project pipeline. Watch for additional CUBE solicitations in Issues #30 and #31 as CUNY's FY2026 renovation cycle extends into summer. Certified abatement, MEP, and specialty trades firms should establish the Lanmark relationship today rather than waiting for the next solicitation.

The MTA State of Good Repair capital cycle: The Design-Build SOGR Package 2 listing (CR# 2135722, due July 7) is the second consecutive MTA design-build vehicle flagged in The MWBE Report this cycle. MTA capital spending under its Five-Year Capital Program is running at a sustained pace — expect additional SOGR, accessibility, and infrastructure design-build and design-bid-build solicitations through Q3 2026. MWBE firms at all certification levels should be tracking MTA procurement as a sustained pipeline rather than episodic opportunities.

The federal set-aside tier shift: Issue #29 marks the first cycle since Issue #26 with no WOSB, 8(a), or HUBZone designations in the SAM.gov export. All five active federal opportunities carry Total Small Business set-asides — the base SBA designation. This is not a slow federal week; it is a different procurement tier. Firms that hold WOSB, 8(a), or HUBZone status but have not activated their base SAM.gov registration miss this entire lane. The New York Army National Guard advertising/AI contract (closes June 22) is a local-federal crossover opportunity that should be on the radar of any NYC-based digital marketing MWBE.

Water infrastructure as a sustained NYS MWBE lane: Ben Ciccone (Rosendale water tank) and W.M. Schultz (Kiamesha Lake wastewater + Gloversville water works) are both running multi-project MWBE solicitations simultaneously in the Hudson Valley and upstate New York. This is the third consecutive issue with active water and wastewater infrastructure MWBE-designated contractor ads. The pattern reflects NYS capital investment in aging water infrastructure — and it generates a sustained, geographic-specific lane for certified civil, utilities, and plumbing firms.

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.

Tracking opportunities is only half the battle. If you want help deciding what to pursue, how to position, and when to prime vs. subcontract, join the BidMWBE Waitlist.
