In accordance with section 3-04 (b)(2)(i)(B) of the Procurement Policy Board Rules, the Department of Youth and Community Development (DYCD) is requesting approval to procure Youth Team Sports (YTS) services through the Negotiated Acquisition (NAQ) method. DYCD would release a competitive NAQ which could potentially lead to DYCD negotiating with those who respond and would be found viable to operate Youth Team Sports program and who do not currently hold a DYCD contract to expand the provider pool and capacity.
DYCD makes this request pursuant to Section 3-04(b)(2)(i)(B) as funds available from the New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) will be lost to the City if DYCD is unable to start the competitive NAQ.
The New York State Office of Children and Family Services (OCFS) created the new fund in the state’s fiscal year 2025-2026 budget to provide awards to support youth team sports programs for underserved youth under age 18. The funding supports youth development through team sports programs and would be awarded to local community-based organizations and nonprofits. Grant requires the City to have funds awarded and expensed prior to the grant end date of June 30, 2026. Therefore, DYCD is allocating $2,300,000 of this grant for an opportunity to recruit new providers.
