The Mayor's Office of Contract Services (MOCS) is a New York City oversight and service agency that manages procurement citywide, from release of solicitations by agencies to payment of vendors. MOCS makes it easier to do business through use of end-to-end technology tools, increases transparency by publication of enriched data sets, and strengthens procurement operations by providing direct assistance and resources to 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 agency was first established in 1988 and the director serves as the City Chief Procurement Officer.
