ITB-OCCC-2026-04 Dental Supplies

Orange County Community College (OCCC) is seeking competitive bids for ITB-OCCC-2026-04, a comprehensive dental supplies procurement solicitation covering 278 unique line items. The invitation to bid is for new, unused dental supplies, including medical consumables like masks, gloves, sterilization pouches, and specialized dental equipment and medications. Vendors must provide brand name or equivalent products as specified in the bid pricing sheets, with the college retaining final determination on product equivalency. The bid is scheduled to be opened on July 2, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with a contract award anticipated on July 14, 2025, and services commencing on September 1, 2025. Bidders are required to submit pricing for all items, including those without specified quantities, and must represent the lowest offered pricing to any municipal or commercial consumer under similar terms. The procurement process emphasizes open competition, with manufacturers' names and part numbers provided for informational purposes, and bidders encouraged to offer equivalent products that meet or exceed specifications.

The contract will be an initial one-year term with potential for two additional one-year extensions at no price increase, entirely at the college's discretion. While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on respondent types are explicitly mentioned, the bid process appears open to various vendors capable of meeting the comprehensive dental supply requirements. The college reserves the right to award the contract in whole or part based on the lowest responsive bid and maintains the ability to terminate the contract with 30 days' written notice. Although specific budget ranges are not detailed, the extensive line item list suggests a potentially significant procurement value. The procurement is located in Middletown, New York, and covers a wide range of dental supplies that appear designed to support educational dental programs or facilities. Pricing flexibility and product equivalency are key components of the bidding process, allowing vendors to compete effectively while meeting the college's specific requirements.
