24 Month Contract for the Purchase of Police Uniforms and Equipment, as needed

The City of Yonkers Purchasing Bureau is seeking bids for a comprehensive 24-month contract to supply police uniforms and equipment for their department, with an option to renew for an additional 12 months. The procurement covers 35 distinct line items including dress and patrol uniforms, tactical gear, safety equipment, duty belts, handcuffs, and specialized protective accessories. Bidders must provide individual measurements for uniform items, with size ranges from extra small to XXXXL, and meet specific tailoring, material, and construction requirements. Vendor submissions must include product samples for evaluation and provide a three-year limited warranty on workmanship. The bid will be opened on June 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with a deadline for written questions on June 9, 2025. The City reserves the right to adjust order quantities by +/- 50% and requires most items to be delivered within a 45-day window. Evaluation will be conducted on a class basis, with bidders required to quote unit prices for all items within each class.

The contract opportunity does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though it does emphasize compliance with non-discrimination policies, MacBride Principles, and Iran Divestment Act regulations. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the bid requires potential contractors to demonstrate comprehensive capabilities in producing high-quality law enforcement uniforms and equipment. The procurement is specifically for Westchester County, focusing on the City of Yonkers' police department needs. Although a precise budget range is not specified, the comprehensive nature of the 35-line item contract suggests a significant procurement value. Potential bidders must be prepared to provide a full range of police uniform and equipment solutions, with the ability to meet strict quality standards, provide precise sizing, and guarantee product performance through a three-year limited warranty.
