Guidepost Solutions LLC
City-funded organization
Guidepost Solutions LLC is a New York, NY headquartered investigations, compliance, and monitoring firm with more than 250 professionals, including former federal prosecutors and law enforcement agents. Its chairman, Bart M. Schwartz, was named the independent federal monitor over the New York City Housing Authority in a February 2019 agreement among HUD, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, and the City, a monitorship that concluded in 2024. That work is registered with the City through the Law Department, which paid Guidepost under a negotiated, non-competitive $74 million contract (CT102520201413924, ended 2024) that grew from an initial $12 million award through 46 amendments. Guidepost also held three Department of Education "E-Rate Compliance Monitoring Services" / "E-rate Compliances Monitoring Services" contracts between 2017 and 2020 (together worth $2.7 million, one negotiated and two renewals) and a $649,151 sole-source Law Department "Independent Monitor" contract that ended in 2021. The firm has no active NYC contracts today, having been awarded $78 million since 2016, all of it (100% of contract value across 5 contracts) without a fresh
