Job Description
The Mayor's Office of Contract Services (MOCS) is a New York City oversight and service agency that manages procurement citywide, from planning and release of agency solicitations to payment of vendors. Annually, agencies procure billions in products and services from a diverse pool of vendors that represent various industries. MOCS therefore aims to ensure that the procurement process remains fair, transparent, efficient and cost-effective.
MOCS makes it easier to do business through use of end-to-end technology tools, increases transparency by publication of enriched data and hosting public hearings, and strengthens Procurement Operations by providing direct assistance and resources to all stakeholders. MOCS also partners with agencies and vendors to identify areas for policy reform, resulting in ongoing process improvement to reduce administrative burdens and increase the positive impact of services on communities. The MOCS Director serves as the City Chief Procurement Officer.
MOCS team members operate in a collaborative, service-oriented environment, where flexibility and ability to achieve results are valued. Senior Analysts may conduct all duties relevant to analysts in their assigned division and demonstrate an advanced level of expertise. Senior analysts assume increased responsibilities and may train and provide ongoing support to other analysts. All MOCS analysts are expected to deliver timely and quality work products and services, participate in ongoing improvement activities, proactively deepen their knowledge of procurement and government operations, and will use modern technology software and hardware to complete daily duties. Analysts also collaborate with other team members to implement projects, help to maintain and/or analyze operational data, and interact with external stakeholders.
The Procurement Operations Division is comprised of task forces that support the City's mayoral agencies across all industry categories. The Procurement Operations Division is tasked with optimizing the procurement process by onboarding City Agencies and vendors, including nonprofits and Minority Women-owned Business Enterprises, to the Procurement and Sourcing Solutions Portal (PASSPort), supporting policy initiatives to cultivate a fair, responsible and timely procurement process, and facilitating sourcing, contracting & financial-related transactions and customer support.
