GoVets & New York City DCAS - Supplying the Nation's Largest City Fleet - Effective April 2024

A New Era for GoVets in Fleet Maintenance

We are thrilled to announce that GoVets, a New York State Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Business (SDVOB), is officially kicking off a 5-Year Fleet Maintenance Contract with New York City's Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS), beginning on April 1, 2024. This partnership marks a significant milestone in our mission to provide unparalleled service and products to the agencies that keep our city running. The contract, identified as MA1-857-20248804276, signifies the beginning of a new chapter in the management and maintenance of the largest fleet in the United States.

A Glimpse into the DCAS Fleet Maintenance Acquisition

The Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) is responsible for managing the City's vehicle fleet, which includes over 30,000 vehicles across all New York City agencies. The acquisition of the fleet maintenance contract by GoVets represents a pivotal moment in the city’s approach to fleet management, emphasizing efficiency, reliability, and sustainability.

The scope of the project is vast and comprehensive, covering all aspects of fleet maintenance, from automotive electrical and lighting to fluids, paints, cleaning supplies, gauges, diagnostics, tools, repair parts, and trim accessories. GoVets will be supplying NYC agencies with over 200,000 products across these categories and more, ensuring that every vehicle is in top condition and ready to serve the city’s needs.

The Impact on NYC Agencies

This contract affects a wide range of NYC agencies, each with a significant number of fleet vehicles under their care. From emergency services and public safety vehicles to transportation and sanitation trucks, the maintenance of these fleets is critical to the city’s operation. Agencies will now use PassPort and Punchout to GoVets for streamlined and efficient procurement of all necessary items. This integration with the Mayor's Office of Contract Services (MOCS) has already proven to be a tremendous success, facilitating easier access to GoVets' extensive catalog of products.

The Largest Fleet in the USA

New York City's fleet is the largest municipal fleet in the United States, with over 30,000 vehicles. Managing such a vast array of vehicles is no small feat, and GoVets is prepared to meet this challenge head-on. Our partnership with DCAS is designed to ensure that every vehicle, from police cars and fire trucks to sanitation vehicles and beyond, is maintained to the highest standards of safety and performance.

Procurement with PassPort and Punchout

The integration of PassPort and Punchout systems represents a step forward for NYC agencies.  This technology allows agencies to directly access and purchase from GoVets’ extensive catalog of over 200,000 products. The system simplifies the procurement process, making it faster, more efficient, and more transparent. This innovation is a testament to the successful collaboration between GoVets and MOCS, setting a new standard for municipal procurement.

“We are incredibly excited about this opportunity and the next phase in the future of GoVets. Partnering with DCAS on the Fleet Maintenance Contract is not just a testament to our commitment to quality and service, but also an honor to play a crucial role in the daily operations of New York City. We are ready to drive forward into this new era of fleet maintenance, setting new benchmarks for excellence.”   - Marc Bernard, PhD, CFA | President, GoVets
