Broadcast Materials

The New York Racing Association, Inc. (NYRA) is soliciting proposals for broadcast materials across its three premier racetrack locations: Aqueduct Racetrack in Queens, Belmont Park in Elmont, and Saratoga Race Course in Saratoga Springs. This Request for Quotation (RFQ) seeks well-established organizations to provide contractual pricing for television production materials, with the intent of establishing a blanket purchase order. Proposals must be submitted to the Senior Director of Procurement by September 3, 2025, at 5 PM prevailing time, either electronically through the Empire State Purchasing Group website (https://www.bidnetdirect.com/new-york/nyra) or manually at 110-00 Rockaway Blvd, Suite 1, Ozone Park, NY 11417. The contract term will be two years, with NYRA retaining the option for three additional one-year renewals at its sole discretion. NYRA reserves the right to award the contract to multiple bidders, emphasizing flexibility in vendor selection. Complete specifications and details are available for download from the specified purchasing group website.

While the solicitation does not explicitly mention set-aside designations or specific vendor restrictions, it indicates a preference for well-established organizations capable of supplying broadcast materials across multiple racetracks. The RFQ suggests that bidders should have substantial experience in producing and supplying television production materials, though specific qualifications are not detailed in the provided document. No incumbent vendors are mentioned, and no specific budget range or award value is disclosed. The procurement approach allows for multiple vendors, which implies potential for competitive pricing and diversified supply capabilities. Interested organizations should carefully review the complete specifications on the Empire State Purchasing Group website and ensure timely submission of their proposals, as NYRA emphasizes that it is the bidder's sole responsibility to submit bids by the specified deadline.
