MWBE Form for YSS CNY.docx

This is an Addendum to a Youth Safe Spaces Program procurement issued by the New York State Office of Mental Health, documenting a list of interested Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBE) and Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) subcontractors as of July 31, 2026. The addendum identifies potential subcontractors that proposers may engage for the Youth Safe Spaces Program, which targets mental health and peer support services for youth ages 12-24 in New York State. The document lists one confirmed wellness provider subcontractor, Susana Villalba, LLC, with contact information provided for interested proposers. The addendum indicates availability of additional MWBE and SDVOB subcontractors, though the full list appears incomplete in the available documentation, with entries two and three referenced but not populated.

The addendum prioritizes engagement with minority and women-owned enterprises and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses in the subcontracting process, reflecting the state's commitment to inclusive procurement practices. This list serves as a resource for primary proposers to identify and coordinate with certified subcontractors, thereby supporting workforce diversity and economic opportunities for underrepresented business categories within the mental health services sector. The inclusion of this addendum demonstrates that subcontracting opportunities are available within the Youth Safe Spaces Program solicitation, with the state actively promoting partnerships between prime contractors and MWBE/SDVOB firms.
