Council Member Julie Won inquires about the adoption of the Passport system by the Department of Education (DOE) and Health + Hospitals (H+H). Lisa Flores explains that while Passport is fully adopted by mayoral agencies, DOE has only a small portfolio of contracts in the system due to its separate jurisdiction under state education law.
- DOE is not under MOCS jurisdiction according to the city charter
- DOE has its own procurement rules governed by New York State education law
- Some DOE contracts are in Passport, but it's a small portfolio

Thank you so much, chair, and council member Stevens.

For passport full adoption, does that mean that we now have DOE and H and H on it as well?
1:09:35
Because we have the highest amount of complaints about DOE outstanding contracts as well.

For Passport full adoption, were we successful in getting our friends at DOE to adopt Passport?
Lisa Flores

So Passport is a full adoption for all the mayoral agencies.

There are some contracts in from DOE in the system, but a small portfolio.

Obviously, as you know, New York City Public Schools is not under the jurisdiction under the charter of MOCs and is obviously governed by New York State education law, and their procurement rules are also governed obviously from those laws, and they have their own systems.
