This is a University-Wide Minority and Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) Program Utilization Plan form for the State University of New York (SUNY) system, designed to document contractor commitments to subcontracting with certified MBE and WBE firms. The form requires contractors to identify the primary contractor, project details, and MBE/WBE participation goals, along with comprehensive information about planned subcontractors and suppliers. Contractors must list subcontractors by federal ID number, contract dollar value, description of work or supplies, company name, street address, contact name, email address, and MBE/WBE certification status. The form accommodates multiple subcontractor entries with designated start and completion dates for each. Contractors must certify that they seriously expect to use the NYS certified MBE/WBE firms listed and commit to immediately notifying and obtaining approval from the University-wide MWBE Program Office prior to implementing any changes to the plan.

For the specific Exterior Facade Signage Installation project at Baylis Hall, SUNY Maritime College has established MBE participation goals of 11.00 percent and WBE participation goals of 19.00 percent. The project requires vendors to demonstrate successful completion of at least four comparable contracts within the past five years of similar size, scope, complexity, and nature. This is a prevailing wage project, and vendors must submit valid and current New York State Worker's Compensation and Disability insurance forms. The procurement is subject to New York State Finance Law 139-j and -k (Lobbying Law), which restricts vendor contact to designated campus representatives only. Interested vendors must contact the designated Campus contact within 15 business days of the advertisement notice.
