The New York City Housing Authority is shopping for contractors to find and remove lead, asbestos, mold and other hazardous materials across its developments citywide, with bids due December 22, the city notice shows.
Separately, three city agencies renewed contracts worth a combined $4.07 million for cybersecurity work, IT consulting and elevator-inspection oversight.
NYCHA: A Standing Order for Hazard Cleanup
NYCHA is seeking bids under two requests, RFQs 523158 and 523159, for what it calls an IDIQ job order contract for environmental services. In plain English: an on-call deal where work gets ordered as needed rather than spelled out up front.
The scope covers site assessments and testing, containment, abatement, removal or encapsulation of hazardous materials, waste disposal, air monitoring and clearance testing.
It also includes emergency response services. Contractors must coordinate with NYCHA “to ensure safe execution and minimal disruption,” per the notice.
Selection is by competitive sealed bids, uploaded as a single PDF through NYCHA’s iSupplier portal. No paper, email or fax bids.

What the notice does not say
No dollar value, no contract length and no list of developments. The site visit is listed without a location. For a contract that could touch lead and mold in public housing, residents will have to wait for the award to learn the price tag.
The Money Moving
All three awards below are listed as renewals, so none went out for fresh competition this round.
$2.5 million — Deloitte & Touche LLP. The Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications renewed a deal titled “Security Class II.” The notice offers no further description of the work.
$1,092,000 — Universal Technologies, LLC. The Human Resources Administration renewed IT consulting for its Public Engagement Unit systems and “OCSS Strategic Modernization.” The renewal runs Jan. 1, 2027 through Dec. 31, 2028.
$477,162 — Bureau Veritas National Elevator Inspection Services. The Department of Citywide Administrative Services renewed third-party witnessing of inspections and Category 1 and Category 5 testing of conveyance systems — city-speak for elevators and their kin — covering Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island.
