Cooperative Medical Trainer Supplies

Monroe 2-Orleans BOCES is soliciting bids for medical trainer supplies through a cooperative procurement process for ten participating school districts in Monroe County, New York. The Request for Bid (RFB-2143-25) covers medical and athletic training supplies to be delivered from February 1, 2026 to January 31, 2027, encompassing districts including Brighton CSD, Churchville-Chili CSD, East Irondequoit CSD, and others. The procurement includes over 130 line items spanning categories such as bandages, first aid equipment, braces, gloves, ice packs, splints, and exercise tubing. Bidders must submit comprehensive documentation including non-collusion certification, Iran Divestment Act certification, customer references, company information, and a W-9 form. The bid requires pricing submissions in Excel format on a flash drive and a paper copy, with all transportation and delivery charges included in the unit price. Bids will be opened on November 12, 2025 at 2:00 p.m. at 3599 Big Ridge Road in Spencerport, NY, with bidders expected to provide two copies of current catalogs and comply with various insurance requirements.

The procurement does not explicitly indicate specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to provide catalog discounts on items not listed on the price sheet, with discounts calculated as a percentage off current manufacturer's list prices. The cooperative purchasing approach allows districts to issue open or blanket purchase orders without minimum order requirements. While specific budget ranges are not detailed, the comprehensive nature of the bid covering multiple districts suggests a potentially significant contract value. Bidders must demonstrate professional liability, workers' compensation, and general liability insurance. The contract includes provisions for potential price adjustments during the term, requiring written consent from BOCES and verification of cost increases from suppliers. Brands potentially included in the bid range from Cramer and Johnson & Johnson to Medco and Theraband, indicating a competitive and comprehensive solicitation for medical training supplies.
