Overview

• The New York City comptroller, Brad Lander, rejected a no-bid $432 million contract awarded to DocGo to provide services for migrants.
• Lander questioned DocGo's qualifications and lack of expertise in providing the range of contracted services.
• The contract was awarded under emergency procedures, bypassing competitive bidding requirements.
• The rejection bars the city from currently paying DocGo for any work submitted under the contract.
• Mayor Eric Adams has power to override Lander’s rejection, but it could raise accountability questions.
