MWBE/SDVOB Reporting

Pursuant to New York State Executive Law Article 15-A, the Port of Albany recognizes its obligation under the law to promote opportunities for maximum feasible participation of certified minority- and women-owned businesses (MWBEs) in the performance of Port contracts. The Port advises all potential service providers that disadvantaged, minority and women-owned business enterprises will be afforded full opportunity to submit proposals in response to this notice and there will be no discrimination on the basis of race, creed, color, sex, national origin, disability or marital status in the award of the contract or any subcontract.

Veteran’s Services Law Article 3 provides for more meaningful participation in public procurement by certified Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Businesses (“SDVOBs”), thereby further integrating such businesses into New York State’s economy. The APDC recognizes the need to promote the employment of service-disabled veterans and to ensure that certified service-disabled veteran-owned businesses have opportunities for maximum feasible participation in the performance of APDC contracts. In recognition of the service and sacrifices made by service-disabled veterans and in recognition of their economic activity in doing business in New York State, Bidders are strongly encouraged and expected to consider SDVOBs in the fulfillment of the requirements of the Contract. Such participation may be as subcontractors, as protégés, or in other partnering or supporting roles.
