CYANOKITS

Ulster County's Department of Emergency Services is seeking to procure 30 Cyanokit 5g (hydroxocobalamin for injection) units through a Request for Bid (RFB-UC25-064) issued by the Ulster County Purchasing Department. The bid requires each Cyanokit to have a minimum shelf life of 28 months from receipt and will be opened on September 18, 2025, at 2:30 P.M. at the Purchasing Department located at 100 Development Court in Kingston, NY. Bidders must submit sealed bids complying with detailed specifications and county procurement policies, with pricing requirements mandating net FOB delivery to any point in Ulster County, inclusive of all delivery costs. The County reserves the right to award the bid individually, by section, or in whole, based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid. Specific evaluation criteria include compliance with insurance requirements, which mandate commercial general liability insurance with $1,000,000 per occurrence and $2,000,000 aggregate coverage.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though bidders must comply with MacBride Fair Employment Principles and the Iran Divestment Act. The contract is structured as a one-time purchase, with the County maintaining the right to cancel with 30 days' written notice. While no incumbent vendors are explicitly named, the bid suggests a standard competitive procurement process open to qualified medical supply vendors capable of meeting the specified product and delivery requirements. The total procurement value would be dependent on the per-unit pricing of the Cyanokits, but represents a targeted medical supply acquisition for the county's emergency services infrastructure. Additional compliance requirements include adherence to various state and local regulations, suggesting a comprehensive vetting process for potential vendors.
