| Capacity Building and Oversight (CBO) MOCS has added a new technical assistance group to support not-for-profit vendors and the City’s human services agencies. The Capacity-Building and Oversight (CBO) unit will conduct Not-for-Profit Vendor Reviews, using the Not-for-profit Vendor Review Report, to identify the needs in each organization and implement appropriate corporate governance and fiscal controls, if they are not already in place. CBO is working with technical assistance experts to coordinate resources for nonprofit vendors and develop a curriculum for nonprofit directors and staff, to receive training free of charge, in the Procurement Training Institute at the DCAS Citywide Training Center.
