Agency Application & Certification Guides

Every public owner in New York has its own paperwork before you can bid: certifications, prequalified lists and vendor registrations. Each guide below covers who it's for, what it unlocks, the documents you'll need and the steps, checked against the agency's own site.

Private consulting firm, not a government agency. We are not affiliated with any city, state or federal agency. You can apply directly with any agency yourself, and NYC and NYS M/WBE certification are free to apply for. We charge for our help, not for the certification. Official sites: NYC SBS, NYS ESD, and every agency we cover.
