New York City will not be renewing a lucrative no-bid migrant services contract with the controversial shelter provider DocGo for another year, city officials revealed on Tuesday.
DocGo — also known as Rapid Reliable Testing NY LLC — previously received a $432 million contract from the city even though it did not go through the usual competitive bidding process to provide shelter, food and other services to new arrivals. The company provides services to 3,600 migrants overall — 1,800 in the city and another 1,800 upstate, a small fraction of the roughly 64,000 currently in the city’s care.
