The Gateway Development Commission (GDC) is seeking proposals for comprehensive auditing services across multiple New York counties, including Bronx, Kings, New York, Queens, and Richmond. The procurement opportunity, identified by State Local Contract Opportunity ID 67ff82fb4f93292e2107e544, requires a qualified firm to perform independent auditing services, which encompass annual financial statement audits, Single Source Audits, and supplemental auditing services. These supplemental services include preparing special audit studies, reports, and potential third-party contract audits. The contract is structured with a 5-year base term and two additional 1-year optional extensions. Proposals must be submitted by April 29, 2025, at 5:00 PM, with firms expected to demonstrate expertise in financial auditing, governmental accounting standards, and comprehensive reporting capabilities. While specific evaluation criteria are not explicitly detailed, firms will likely be assessed on their technical qualifications, audit approach, personnel expertise, and understanding of governmental financial reporting requirements. The procurement opportunity does not include a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned set-aside, but it does establish a 1.91% Disadvantaged Owned Sub-Contracting Goal, indicating a commitment to inclusive procurement practices. No incumbent vendors or existing contractors are noted in the solicitation, suggesting this may be a new or recompeted contract. The solicitation does not specify a precise contract value or budget range, which would typically be determined through the proposal evaluation process. Interested firms should carefully review the full procurement documentation available on the Gateway Program's procurement opportunities portal to understand the complete scope of requirements. The geographic focus spans multiple New York counties, with Bronx County specifically identified as a key jurisdiction, implying the need for firms with regional expertise and understanding of governmental financial reporting standards specific to New York state and local government entities.
