MENUCHA PUBLISHERS Inc

City-funded organization

Menucha Publishers Inc is a Brooklyn based publisher (1235 38th Street, per its own website) of Jewish and Orthodox children's and educational literature, along with adult fiction, cookbooks, and Torah and Jewish ethics titles. Its only city customer is the Department of Education, which has registered $26 million in contracts with the firm for 'textbooks and ancillary materials' since 2016. Its current $21 million contract, like the earlier one, was procured through the DOE's pre-approved vendor listing rather than a fresh competitive bid; 100% of contract value awarded to the firm ($26 million across 2 contracts) came through that non-competitive route.
