Mwbe partnership opportunity – schenectady, NY signage construction project

GDS, Inc is seeking to establish partnership agreements with certified Minority-Owned Business Enterprise (MBE), Women-Owned Business Enterprise (WBE), or MWBE firms for a signage construction project in Schenectady, New York, with inquiries due by July 31, 2026. Interested firms must hold current MWBE certification through New York State or another recognized certifying agency.

GDS, Inc has established contracting goals of 25% MBE participation, 25% WBE participation, 10% Disadvantaged Business Enterprise (DBE) participation, and 8% Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB) participation. This is a partnership development opportunity rather than a formal competitive solicitation; GDS is actively recruiting qualified MWBE contractors, subcontractors, suppliers, and service providers to support project operations and help meet diversity objectives.

The project encompasses general labor, concrete site work, trucking and hauling, equipment operations, material supply, safety services, and other construction-related trades. Scope details beyond these categories are not yet defined; GDS indicates willingness to discuss available opportunities and collaboration structures with interested qualified firms. Place of performance is Schenectady, New York.

Interested parties should contact Jess Cohen at GDS, Inc via phone at 631-203-4165 or email at info@gdssigns.com to explore partnership and participation options.
