Development of a New Preferred Source Service Offering

Case Synopsis -

NYSID recently commissioned the Rockefeller Institute of Government, a public policy think tank that conducts cutting-edge, nonpartisan research and policy analysis, to measure the fiscal and social value NYSID created for New York State and its taxpayers through the facilitation of the Preferred Source Program. One of the key findings in the report was the risk automation could pose for NYSID contracts over the course of the next two decades; an estimated 75% of NYSID’s workforce faces elimination due to automation. In light of this, the proposed scope for this project would be for students to assess the skill sets of the population that we serve, and help develop a proposal for what could be our next preferred source offering.

REQUIRED PREREQUISITES

NYSID is not a traditional non-for-profit, in that we do not receive Federal or State funding, nor do we conduct any fundraising as an organization; rather NYSID is a facilitating agency for New York State's Preferred Source Program. Before being able to begin researching potential new service offerings, it is important to understand New York State's Preferred Source Program and the regulatory environment in which NYSID operates.
