New York City Comptroller Rejects No-Bid $432M Migrant Services Contract With DocGo

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.
