Title I Vendor Catalogs for NYC DOE Schools
A clearer, school-specific view of available vendor options to support confident Title I spending decisions under tight timelines ahead of the FY 2026 purchase order deadline, aligned with existing purchasing processes.
Why This Exists
We believe small businesses include the contractors NYC deserves. Our offerings respond to the friction points city workers and vendors tell us about. We focus on making public procurement understandable and empowering for folks already at work serving the city.
A Clearer View of Title I Vendor Options for NYC Schools
Before the FY2026 DOE budget closes this spring, we’re offering NYC schools a clearer, school-specific view of available Title I vendor options. Designed to support confident decision-making under tight timelines.
Title I funds are time-bound and high-stakes. While schools ultimately spend their allocations, limited visibility can lead to rushed choices or missed options. This catalog is intended to reduce that risk by increasing clarity and awareness, without changing how schools already buy.
You can also use our Title I Funds Finder to quickly view your school’s current allocation for this spending cycle.
