In accordance with PPB Rule 3-04(b)(2)(i), the Comptroller of the City of New York (“Comptroller”), as Comptroller and custodian of the funds and acting on behalf of the Teachers Retirement System of the City of New York (“TRS”), seeks to enter into a Negotiated Acquisition for private credit specialty consulting services for the purpose of providing the TRS Board of Trustees and other relevant stakeholders with specialized consulting pertaining to relevant investment transactions, portfolio management, and other related needs. The use of a Negotiated Acquisition is due to an immediate need for private credit specialty consulting services that can no longer be provided by TRS’ current contracted general consultant.

The contract will be awarded to the vendor responsible whose proposal is determined to be most advantageous to TRS Board of Trustees and in the best interest of the City, taking into account TRS’ consulting needs and the vendor’s ability to meet those consulting needs.

Projected Contract Duration: July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2028.
