Reauthorization of Article 15-A: Expanding Opportunities for Minority and Women-Owned Businesses
New York State is poised to fortify its commitment to promoting equality of economic opportunities through the reauthorization of Executive Law Article 15-A. This legislation, which governs the participation of Minority and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs) in state contracting, has been extended to December 31, 2024, signifying a significant milestone in the state's efforts to foster inclusivity and diversity in business. On July 15, 2019, Governor Cuomo signed into law a series of enhancements to Article 15-A, aimed at further empowering MWBEs and eliminating barriers to their participation in state contracting. These enhancements, set to take effect in January 2020, introduce several key changes to the MWBE certification process and procurement practices: Extended Certification Terms: Under the reauthorization, MWBE certification terms will be extended from three to five years, providing certified firms with greater stability and continuity. Enhanced Personal Net Worth Limits: The reauthorization raises the personal net worth certification cap to $15 million, allowing for increased participation of entrepreneurs while ensuring fair and equitable access to opportunities. Furthermore, additional exclusions to personal net worth calculations have been established, further broadening the eligibility criteria for MWBE certification. Discretionary Purchasing Threshold Increase: Agencies and authorities will see an increase in the discretionary purchasing threshold from $200,000 to $500,000 for commodities, services, and technology that are recycled or remanufactured, streamlining procurement processes and fostering greater flexibility in contracting. Bidding Credit for MWBE Prime Contractors: A ten percent bidding credit will be established for low-bid construction projects valued up to $1.4 million, incentivizing MWBE prime contractors to participate in public projects and promoting greater diversity within the construction industry.
Senator James Sanders Jr.
President and CEO Kevin Alexander Expanded Reporting and Advocacy Measures: The reauthorization mandates enhanced reporting from New York State agencies and authorities on MWBE contracting, including projected growth plans, procurement strategies, and advocacy measures. Additionally, the authority of the Statewide Advocate will be expanded to investigate complaints and claims of violations of Article 15-A, ensuring accountability and transparency in the procurement process. At the 53rd Annual Caucus, Senator James Sanders, RDRC President and CEO Kevin Alexander, and other community leaders emerged as champions for MWBE and workforce development. Their unwavering commitment to promoting diversity and economic inclusion has been instrumental in advancing initiatives aimed at creating opportunities for underrepresented entrepreneurs. As New York State continues to champion diversity and inclusion in business, the reauthorization of Article 15-A underscores its unwavering commitment to creating a level playing field for all entrepreneurs. By expanding opportunities for MWBEs and fostering a supportive business environment, the state is paving the way for economic prosperity and growth that benefits all communities. While the reauthorization signals a significant step forward, challenges and questions may arise, particularly in light of recent legal developments. As the program evolves, stakeholders will continue to monitor its progress and address any concerns that may arise, ensuring that the principles of fairness and equity remain at the forefront of New York State's economic development efforts.
Reautorización del Artículo 15-A: Ampliación de oportunidades para empresas propiedad de mujeres y minorías
El estado de Nueva York está preparado para fortalecer su compromiso de promover la igualdad de oportunidades económicas mediante la reautorización del Artículo 15-A de la Ley Ejecutiva. Esta legislación, que rige la participación de empresas comerciales propiedad de mujeres y minorías (MWBE) en la contratación estatal, se extendió hasta el 31 de diciembre de 2024, lo que significa un hito importante en los esfuerzos del estado para fomentar la inclusión y la diversidad en los negocios. El 15 de julio de 2019, el Gobernador Cuomo promulgó una serie de mejoras al Artículo 15-A, destinadas a empoderar aún más a las MWBE y eliminar las barreras a su participación en la contratación estatal. Estas mejoras, que entrarán en vigor en enero de 2020, introducen varios cambios clave en el proceso de certificación y las prácticas de adquisición de MWBE: Términos de certificación extendidos: Según la reautorización, los términos de certificación de MWBE se extenderán de tres a cinco años, brindando a las empresas certificadas mayor estabilidad y continuidad. Límites mejorados del patrimonio neto personal: la reautorización eleva el límite de certificación del patrimonio neto personal a $15 millones, lo que permite una mayor participación de los empresarios y al mismo tiempo garantiza un acceso justo y equitativo a las oportunidades. Además, se han establecido exclusiones adicionales a los cálculos del patrimonio neto personal, ampliando aún más los criterios de elegibilidad para la certificación MWBE. Aumento del umbral de compras discrecionales: Las agencias y autoridades verán un aumento en el umbral de compras discrecionales de $200 000 a $500 000 para productos básicos, servicios y tecnología que se reciclen o remanufacturen, lo que agilizará los procesos de adquisiciones y fomentará una mayor flexibilidad en la contratación. Crédito de licitación para contratistas principales de MWBE: Se establecerá un crédito de licitación del diez por ciento para proyectos de construcción de oferta baja valorados en hasta $1,4 millones, incentivando a los contratistas principales de MWBE a participar en proyectos públicos y promoviendo una mayor diversidad dentro de la industria de la construcción.
El senador James Sanders Jr.
Presidente y director ejecutivoKevin Alexander Medidas ampliadas de presentación de informes y promoción: La reautorización exige mejores informes de las agencias y autoridades del estado de Nueva York sobre la contratación de MWBE, incluidos planes de crecimiento proyectados, estrategias de adquisiciones y medidas de promoción. Además, se ampliará la autoridad del Defensor Estatal para investigar quejas y reclamos de violaciones del Artículo 15-A, garantizando la rendición de cuentas y la transparencia en el proceso de adquisiciones. En el 53º Caucus Anual, el senador James Sanders, el presidente y director ejecutivo del RDRC, Kevin Alexander, y otros líderes comunitarios emergieron como defensores de las MWBE y el desarrollo de la fuerza laboral. Su compromiso inquebrantable con la promoción de la diversidad y la inclusión económica ha sido fundamental para impulsar iniciativas destinadas a crear oportunidades para empresarios subrepresentados. Mientras el estado de Nueva York continúa defendiendo la diversidad y la inclusión en los negocios, la reautorización del Artículo 15-A subraya su compromiso inquebrantable de crear igualdad de condiciones para todos los empresarios. Al ampliar las oportunidades para las MWBE y fomentar un entorno empresarial propicio, el estado está allanando el camino para la prosperidad y el crecimiento económicos que benefician a todas las comunidades. Si bien la reautorización señala un importante paso adelante, pueden surgir desafíos y preguntas, particularmente a la luz de los recientes desarrollos legales. A medida que el programa evolucione, las partes interesadas continuarán monitoreando su progreso y abordando cualquier inquietud que pueda surgir, asegurando que los principios de justicia y equidad permanezcan a la vanguardia de los esfuerzos de desarrollo económico del estado de Nueva York.

Empire State Development Continues to Champion MWBEs Albany, NY - February 17, 2024 Amidst the spirited atmosphere of the 53rd Annual Black Caucus, Jason Clark, representing Empire State Development (ESD), delivered a powerful message of progress and commitment to supporting Minority- and Women-Owned Business Enterprises (MWBEs). As the Executive Vice President of the Division of Minority and Women's Business Development at ESD, Clark's remarks echoed the sentiments of Governor Kathy Hochul's historic announcement in 2023 regarding the elimination of the MWBE certification backlog. In his address to the Caucus, Clark emphasized ESD's unwavering dedication to assisting MWBEs, stating, "ESD has been working diligently to assist MWBE businesses across New York State." His words resonated with the audience, echoing the strides made by ESD in empowering MWBEs and fostering a more inclusive business environment. Clark's remarks come on the heels of Governor Hochul's celebratory announcement last November, where she heralded the elimination of New York's yearslong certification backlog for MWBEs. Through a transformative $11 million investment secured in the FY 2023 Budget, Empire State Development's Division of Minority- and Women-Owned Business Development achieved a monumental milestone by operating without a backlog of certification applications for the first time in decades. Furthermore, Governor Hochul announced that New York State had surpassed its goal for MWBE utilization on state contracts for the third consecutive year, boasting a utilization rate of 32.30 percent during the 2023 Fiscal Year. This achievement solidified New York's position as a national leader in MWBE utilization, underscoring the state's commitment to diversity and inclusivity in business. Reflecting on the journey that led to these achievements, Clark emphasized the collaborative efforts of ESD and its partners in supporting MWBEs. He highlighted the strategic investments made to streamline certification processes and reduce wait times, ensuring that MWBEs have the tools and resources they need to thrive in New York's competitive business landscape. As Clark concluded his remarks, the audience erupted in applause, recognizing the significant strides made by ESD in advancing MWBE empowerment and economic opportunity. The legacy of Governor Hochul's visionary leadership, coupled with the dedication of ESD and its partners, continues to shape a future where MWBEs play a central role in driving New York's economic prosperity and growth. As the 53rd Annual Black Caucus draws to a close, Clark's message serves as a powerful reminder of the importance of collaboration, perseverance, and unwavering commitment to diversity and inclusion in business. With ESD at the forefront of this movement, the future holds promise for MWBEs across New York State.

Al reflexionar sobre el camino que condujo a estos logros, Clark enfatizó los esfuerzos de colaboración de ESD y sus socios para apoyar a las MWBE. Destacó las inversiones estratégicas realizadas para agilizar los procesos de certificación y reducir los tiempos de espera, asegurando que las MWBE tengan las herramientas y recursos que necesitan para prosperar en el competitivo panorama empresarial de Nueva York. Cuando Clark concluyó sus comentarios, la audiencia estalló en aplausos, reconociendo los importantes avances logrados por la EDS en el avance del empoderamiento y las oportunidades económicas de las MWBE.
