Additionally, only providers with an approved status HHS prequalification in PASSPort will be notified by email once the COMPASS RFP has been released. You can get started by checking out this resource from the Mayor’s Office of Contract Services (MOCS) on prequalification. Additionally, you can find information on next steps if your organization is selected for a COMPASS award via the MOCS website.
