15055298 - hammermill paper

The state and local contract opportunity is a procurement for Hammermill paper products issued by New York State, specifically targeting Bronx County and various New York City jurisdictions. The solicitation (Reference Number: 15055298) seeks multiple quantities of specific paper types, including 14 boxes of white 8.5x11 paper, 3 boxes of 8.5x14 white paper, 3 boxes of green 8.5x11 paper, 3 boxes of blue letter-size copy paper, and 3 boxes of pink 8.5x11 paper. The procurement explicitly states "Please No Substitutes" and requires vendors to indicate delivery charges and estimated time of arrival (ETA). The opportunity was posted on October 3, 2025, with a submission deadline of October 7, 2025, providing a narrow four-day window for potential vendors to prepare and submit their proposals. Key requirements include precise specification adherence, with each box containing 10 reams of paper, and specific item numbers for each paper type (e.g., #103267, #103291, #103366, #103309, #103382).

While the solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements, vendors should be prepared to meet standard government procurement guidelines. The scope appears focused on standard office supply procurement, suggesting potential opportunities for local or small business vendors familiar with municipal supply chain processes. No specific budget range or award value is directly stated in the documentation, though the total quantity suggests a moderate-sized order of approximately 20 total boxes of paper products. The multi-jurisdictional nature of the procurement (covering Bronx County and multiple New York City districts) indicates this is likely a centralized purchasing effort for municipal office supplies. Vendors responding to this opportunity should carefully review all specifications, ensure exact match to requested paper types, and be prepared to provide transparent pricing, delivery charges, and estimated delivery timelines.
