What New York governments buy in technology

Software, data and IT service awards from New York City, New York State public authorities and federal agencies working in New York.

Values are the contract amounts reported at award. For umbrella and multiple-award contracts they are ceilings, not money spent. Every award links to its source.

Award sizes

Bands follow common purchasing limits: NYC micro-purchases go up to $20K and small purchases up to $100K, and the federal simplified acquisition threshold is $350K. New York State agencies may buy up to $1.5M at their discretion from certified M/WBEs and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and NYC may buy up to $1.5M from certified M/WBEs without competition.

Kind of work

Sorted by keyword rules on each award's title and description. See the methodology for the rules and their limits.

Top buyers

Federal buyers are shown by department. NYC's Office of Technology and Innovation appears in the City Record as Information Technology and Telecommunications, the agency formerly called DoITT.

Top vendors

Vendor names are grouped after removing case, punctuation and suffixes such as Inc. and LLC. Parent companies and their subsidiaries are not merged.

Small-business and diversity programs

Each source records a different preference program, so these shares are not comparable across levels.

What counts as a technology award

New York City. City Record award notices cover everything the city buys, so each notice title is matched against keyword rules for software, data, IT services and IT roles. Awards by the city's technology agency are included unless the title names hardware, telecom circuits, radio or event services. Notices republished with the same contract number and amount count once, and cancelled notices are dropped.
NYS public authorities. Authorities such as the MTA report contracts to the Authorities Budget Office. Only contracts classed as "Technology - Software" or "Technology - Consulting/Development or Support" are used. A contract is reported every year it stays open, so only its latest report is kept.
Federal. Prime contracts first obligated in the window, performed in New York, under NAICS 541511, 541512, 541519 and 518210. Value is the amount obligated so far. Set-asides are read from USAspending's set-aside filter.

Kind of work

Each award gets one category from ordered keyword rules: cybersecurity, then data and AI, custom development, cloud, software licenses, and consulting. The first rule that matches wins, and anything left is "Other IT services". A test suite pins real titles to their expected result so a rule change cannot quietly relabel the data.

Limits

Keyword rules miss awards with vague titles and occasionally keep one that is not technology work. Treat category totals as estimates.
Values are award amounts, not payments. Umbrella contracts, such as NYC's citywide systems integration pools, report the ceiling for each vendor.
NYS authority reports lag. The latest published reports cover fiscal years ending in 2024, so authority awards stop in early 2025.
State agencies, as opposed to authorities, are not included yet. Their contracts are published through the State Comptroller's Open Book New York. Federal grants and subcontracts are not included either.
Fiscal years here follow the federal calendar, October to September, for every level. NYC's own fiscal year runs July to June.
