Addendum I - List of MWBE & SDVOB Entities.pdf

This is an Addendum I document listing qualified Minority/Women Business Enterprise (MWBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) entities for New York's Economic Development Services Consultant Pool RFQ. The addendum identifies seven prequalified firms interested in participating in this procurement, which aims to establish a vendor pool across seven distinct service lots to support the New York State Department of Economic Development's Strategic Business Division, Regional Offices, and the state's semiconductor ecosystem initiatives. The listed entities include Ambient Environmental, Inc. (WBE), Storm King Analytics (SDVOB), Alampalli Engineering, PLLC (MBE), Gleason Strategies (WBE), Urbanomics (WBE), Thompson Consulting and Analytics, LLC (MBE), and Eve+Co (MWBE/SDVOB), each with designated points of contact and contact information.

The RFQ specifies zero percent contracting goals for both SDVOB and total MWBE participation, despite the inclusion of this qualified minority and veteran-owned entity list. No incumbent contractors are noted, and no businesses have held identical or substantially similar contracts within the past five years. The procurement establishes a prequalified pool structure intended to provide operational flexibility and streamlined vendor access for New York State's economic development consulting needs across multiple service categories.
