Onondaga County's Division of Purchase has issued a Request for Bid (RFB) seeking to procure approximately 6,500 pairs of navy canvas slip-on shoes for the Onondaga County Corrections Department. The shoes must meet specific technical requirements, including medium weight (7 oz.), full cushion sewn-in insoles, non-skid vulcanized rubber soles, and unisex sizing ranging from Men's 2/Women's 4 to Men's 19/Women's 21. The recommended manufacturer/model is the Shoe Corporation of Birmingham #6199-NAVY or an equivalent product. The bid was released on 07/31/2025, with a submission deadline of 08/14/2025 at 2:00 PM, and the contract term is set to commence on 08/26/2025 and expire on 08/25/2026, with potential renewal options for two additional one-year periods. Evaluation criteria will focus on responsiveness, pricing, and the ability to meet all specified technical requirements, with the county reserving the right to award the contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

The procurement does not specify explicit set-aside designations or restrictions on responding organizations. Bidders must complete several certifications, including non-collusion, conflict of interest, Iranian divestment, and sexual harassment prevention. No minimum order requirements, freight, handling charges, bid security, or performance security are required for this contract. Bidders must also provide a completed IRS Form W-9 and comply with various state and local legal requirements. While specific budget ranges are not detailed in the documentation, the procurement involves supplying approximately 6,500 pairs of shoes, suggesting a moderate-value contract. The county maintains flexibility to increase or reduce quantities as needed, which could impact the overall contract value. Potential vendors should carefully review the complete bid documentation to ensure full compliance with all specifications and requirements.
