The M/WBE program is administered jointly by MOCS and the Department of Small Business Services (SBS). Learn more about the M/WBE program | |

| Purchasing Card Program A purchasing card or (“P-card”) is an agency-issued credit card that allows micropurchases, those up to and including $5,000, for needed goods and services to be made quickly and with a streamlined procurement process at a much-reduced administrative cost. MOCS administers the program and provides technical assistance to agencies. In Fiscal 2011, agencies made $13.8 million in purchases, with more than 22,000 transactions with more than 5,000 vendors with P-cards. The purchasing card program serves as an entry point for vendors new to City business, particularly for M/WBEs and other small business. Vendors can more easily obtain payment with the P-card than under traditional purchasing and are encouraged to ask agency buyers to receive payment via the P-card. | |
