GoVets Shines at the NYC DCAS Event: Advancing Public Procurement with Purpose
New York City, NY – May 2025
This week, GoVets proudly participated in the NYC Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) Supplier Diversity Conference, a dynamic gathering that brought together New York City agencies, suppliers, and small business advocates to promote inclusive, equitable procurement. Hosted in the heart of Manhattan, the event was a vibrant hub of opportunity—and GoVets was honored to be at the center of it.
Elevating Veteran-Owned Business in the Public Sector
As the largest Veteran-owned e-commerce platform supporting public sector procurement, GoVets came to the NYC DCAS event with a clear mission: to expand access to government contracts for Veteran-owned and small businesses, while offering city agencies an easy, compliant way to procure goods and services.
The GoVets team engaged with city procurement professionals, supplier diversity officers, and agency buyers to demonstrate how our platform streamlines purchasing, strengthens compliance, and directly supports Veteran entrepreneurs across the nation.
High-Impact Engagements and Meaningful Dialogue
From one-on-one matchmaking sessions to panel discussions and exhibitor meet-and-greets, the event offered a powerful platform for connection. The GoVets booth attracted strong interest from agency representatives eager to learn more about our capabilities—and how they align with New York City’s commitment to supplier diversity and local impact.
Highlights from the event included:
-
Product demos showcasing GoVets’ fast, compliant procurement process
-
Strategic conversations with NYC agencies looking to expand their Veteran-owned supplier pool
-
Networking with other mission-driven small and diverse businesses working to break down barriers in government contracting
Aligned with NYC’s Vision
New York City has made tremendous strides in ensuring equitable access to procurement opportunities, particularly through programs that uplift Veteran-Owned, Minority-Owned, Women-Owned, and Locally-Based businesses. GoVets was proud to highlight how our platform naturally supports these goals by enabling government buyers to discover and purchase from diverse suppliers, all in one centralized place.
Our team was especially encouraged by the city’s proactive approach to supplier engagement and its enthusiasm for innovative procurement tools like GoVets. The conversations we had confirmed that there is a shared appetite for speed, transparency, and accountability—all of which GoVets is built to deliver.
Looking Ahead
The NYC DCAS event was more than a conference—it was a powerful reminder of what’s possible when government and business unite around a common purpose. GoVets is leaving New York inspired, informed, and ready to take our partnerships with city agencies to the next level.
We extend our sincere thanks to DCAS for hosting such a forward-thinking and inclusive event. The future of public procurement is bright—and we’re proud to be part of it.
