M/WBE REPORTING THRESHOLD
NYS M/WBE Goal = 30% (As of 2015)
FOR CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS: State grants which fund projects that involve the acquisition, construction,
demolition, replacement, major repair or improvements of real property and improvements thereon:
YES. If Contract amount is $100,000 or more and project is for standard construction activities
NO. If the construction Contract is less than $100,000. (Construction contracts may not be split with the intent
of making the cost less than the stated threshold for M/WBE requirements)
FOR NON-CONSTRUCTION CONTRACTS: State grants which fund contracts primarily for services (including
professional services), supplies, equipment, materials or any combination of the foregoing
NO. As long as the contract is for the benefit of the grant recipient, and involves purchases of vehicles,
engineering services, equipment, snow-blowers, vehicles, snow-plows, etc. - as long as there is no direct
benefit to the State.
*** Even if goals are not required to be applied to your project it is still strongly encouraged that
opportunities to utilize M/WBE firms are sought
