Addendum #5-List of MWBE & SVDOB Sub-Contractor Entities.pdf

This document is Addendum #5 to a Request for Proposals issued by the New York Empire State Development (ESD) for Pre-Qualified Providers of Information Technology Goods and Services. The addendum provides a list of Minority and Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) sub-contractor entities interested in participating in this procurement as of July 30, 2026. The primary procurement seeks qualified contractors to provide consulting services and purchasing options for technical projects supporting ESD's Information Systems infrastructure, encompassing both hardware and software systems. The anticipated contract duration is three years with an option to extend for up to one additional year, after which ESD plans to issue a new solicitation for pre-qualified firms.

The addendum lists five MWBE and SDVOB sub-contractor firms with their respective service offerings and contact information: Raj Technologies Inc. (consulting and staffing services, systems integration, and IT solutions), Hardee Brothers LLC (specialty contracting and communications), Crafty Technologies Inc. (cloud infrastructure, Kubernetes, DevSecOps, and cloud security), Kambrian (managed services, IT value-added reseller services, network management, and cybersecurity), and Heavenly Technologies (custom software development, data engineering, cloud architecture, cybersecurity, systems engineering, and IT infrastructure support). The original procurement indicates zero percent contracting goals for both MWBE (0% MBE and 0% WBE) and SDVOB categories, with no current incumbents on similar contracts awarded within the past five years.
