Durato vinyl planks

Westchester County is seeking procurement for Durato Vinyl Planks (V-EVO XL), a luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring collection designed for corporate and hospitality environments. The procurement opportunity involves supplying flooring with specific technical specifications, including extra-long and ultra-wide planks measuring 8.97" x 70.86" with a 7mm overall thickness. The collection offers 10 color variations and features advanced performance characteristics such as waterproof properties, fire resistance, indent resistance, anti-microbial protection, and zero VOCs. Installation can be completed through float or glue-down methods, with planks packaged in boxes of 4, covering 17.67 square feet, and 52 boxes per pallet. The contract opportunity was posted on October 2, 2025, with proposals due by October 6, 2025, requiring vendors to submit detailed specifications demonstrating compliance with the technical requirements outlined in the SPECS.pdf document. Key evaluation criteria will likely include product performance, technical specifications, color range, and installation flexibility.

The procurement appears to encourage participation from Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprises (MBE/WBE), as indicated in the Empire Instructions and Conditions document. Vendors must comply with federal, state, and county regulations, certify bid submissions are made without collusion, and meet specific qualification standards. The county reserves the right to reject bids or decline award if more favorable pricing is available through alternative procurement methods. Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) through the Vendor Direct program will be used for payment, and vendors must demonstrate compliance with lead-free requirements and other regulatory standards. While specific award value is not explicitly stated, the comprehensive technical specifications and large-scale packaging (52 boxes per pallet) suggest this is a substantial commercial procurement opportunity targeting large-scale installations in corporate and hospitality settings. Potential bidders should carefully review the technical specifications and county procurement guidelines to ensure full compliance with the solicitation requirements.
