2025 was another milestone year for the DSS Marketplace Program. This year we’re celebrating: ✅ strong participation by locally certified firms on both direct contracts as well as through our unique elective program driven by partnerships with non-profit organizations. ✅ 3 successful Matchmaker Events this year. The Program has brought more than 300 locally certified firms together with City agency and non-profit buyers for more than 1500 1-on-1 interviews. ✅ our first two Capacity Builder Events which introduced dozens of locally certified firms in the Food and Security industries to agency experts and mentors to learn more about how to profitably work with City agencies and human service providers. And because the City’s Marketplace is not just about contracts, we’re also excited about this year’s record outcomes in our hiring and workforce development programs. We’re Partnering for a Better City! On behalf of the DSS Marketplace Program Team, we’re wishing you and yours all the best in the new year. For more information about the Marketplace Program, email us at marketplace@dss.nyc.gov or visit https://lnkd.in/eV4-FmSM.
