The city signed off on seven contracts worth a combined $111.4 million in its latest filings, and two homeless shelter renewals account for about $104 million of it. One covers a family residence run by Women In Need; the other a Bronx site on East 185th Street run by Project Renewal.
Further down the list: soil and marine borings, a sole-source software deal at the Health Department, and some sanitation and water-system hardware.
$61 million: Glenwood Family Residence
The Department of Homeless Services (DHS) renewed its contract with Women In Need, Inc. for shelter services for homeless families with children at the Glenwood Family Residence. The amount is $60,985,315.
The term runs July 1, 2027, through June 30, 2031. Selection method: renewal, so there was no new competition. The notice does not give the site’s address.
$43 million: 480 East 185th Street, Bronx
DHS also renewed Project Renewal Inc. for $43,025,625 at Marsha’s House, an 81-bed site at 480 East 185th Street in the Bronx.
The filing describes the deal as an “FY26 Extension” but lists the selection method as a renewal. It does not state the contract’s term, which makes the price tag hard to judge.
$3 million: Borings for DEP projects
The Department of Design and Construction awarded AARCO Environmental Services Corp $3,000,000 for land and marine borings for Department of Environmental Protection projects citywide. Borings are the test holes engineers drill to see what’s underground before they build.
This one was bid competitively and, per the notice, went to the lowest bidder.
$2.7 million, no bid: Health Department software
The Department of Health and Mental Hygiene gave RDE Systems Support Group LLC a $2,671,250 sole-source contract. That means no competitive bidding.
The money pays for RDE’s proprietary web platform, NYC HOPWA eCOMPAS. The department’s HOPWA and Ryan White Part A housing programs use it to manage client data, housing inventory, provider contracts, finances and required reporting to HUD and the federal Health Resources and Services Administration.
The Money Moving
$1,040,000 to ManpowerGroup Public Sector, Inc. (Social Services/HRA, renewal) for IT consulting for the “MRO-SPOS and ACS.” It uses a two-year renewal option and runs Jan. 1, 2027, to Dec. 31, 2028.
$400,000 to Wingglee LLC (Sanitation) for oil/water separator replacement parts, through an M/WBE noncompetitive small purchase.
$317,985 to Portland Williams LLC (Environmental Protection) for a BWT Dynavac vacuum and jetting system, also an M/WBE noncompetitive small purchase.
What the notices do not say
None of the shelter filings give per-night or per-family costs, or how many families Glenwood serves. The Project Renewal filing gives no start or end date.
