This amendment to the Procurement Policy Board Rules: increases the dollar threshold for mandatory PASSPort enrollment for vendors doing business with the City of New York from $100,000 up to $250,000; permits the Comptroller to accept reproductions of signatures in lieu of original ink signatures; and creates a new subtype of small purchase, known as an “M/WBE Noncompetitive Small Purchase,” that allows agencies to make purchases of goods and services from Minority and Women Owned Business Enterprises in amounts not exceeding $150,000 without competition. This amendment to the PPB Rules: adds a new definition for the term “State-certified M/WBE” and clarifies the definition of “M/WBE”; expands the application of the best value competitive sealed bid price preference to both City and State- certified M/WBEs; expands the application of the best value competitive sealed proposal preferences to both City and State- certified M/WBEs and mandates it usage for both professional and construction-related consulting services; and allows agencies to use the M/WBE Noncompetitive Small Purchase mechanism to make purchases not in excess of $500,000 and for construction.
