City of Yonkers Public Schools-Awards for 2025 Club 90

The City of Yonkers Public Schools, located in Westchester County, New York, is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ 2025-9156) for custom scholastic awards to recognize student achievements. The procurement seeks 1,300 custom pins (comprising 300 bronze, 300 gold, and 700 silver) with a .75" die struck design and clutch backing, as well as 250 brown half plate plaques featuring custom gold medals. Additionally, the project requires 1,300 presentation boxes to accommodate these pins. The RFQ specifies that all quotes must be firm with no price adjustments, with pricing to be F.O.B. Destination and inclusive of all incidental costs such as freight, packaging, materials, labor, fees, overhead, and profit. The procurement timeline is tight, with quotes due by May 15, 2025, at 2:00 PM EST, and delivery required as soon as possible to One Larkin Center in Yonkers. Evaluation criteria will include price, availability, and lead time, with the City reserving the right to award the contract based on these factors.

The solicitation encourages participation from New York State Certified Minority or Women Owned Business Enterprises (M/WBE), providing an opportunity for such businesses to compete for the contract. Payment terms are set at Net 30 Days, and the City of Yonkers is exempt from sales and use taxes. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves custom awards for approximately 1,300 students, suggesting a moderate-value contract. Vendors must acknowledge receipt of the addendum (Addendum No. 1) when submitting bids, with failure to do so potentially rendering the bid non-responsive. All addenda will be posted on the Empire State Purchasing Group System, and bidders are responsible for ensuring they receive all updates. The procurement does not mention any incumbent vendors or existing infrastructure requirements, focusing solely on the procurement of custom scholastic awards for the City of Yonkers Public Schools.
