NYC SBS Goods and Services , New York, NY – August, 2025
On August 12th, 2025, Hugo Almeida, CEO and founder of Abitronix had the privilege of participating in a Fireside Chat with Laverne Andrews, Deputy Director of Contracts for NYC Department of Parks & Recreation. Together, they shared valuable insights on the Do’s and Don’ts when responding to RFPs for NYC Government contracts.
The session was packed with great information, but here are the 3 key takeaways:
- Stay current on the NYC SBS Portal – Make sure your NIGP codes, company description, and recent contract wins are always updated.
- Know your way around the NYC PASSPort system – This platform is critical for successfully responding to opportunities.
- Submit every tab and form with accuracy – Double-check that all fields are complete. Always cross your T’s and dot your I’s before hitting submit!
“It was an honor to participate and exchange knowledge and learn alongside professionals who are committed to making NYC’s contracting process more transparent and successful,” said Hugo.
