Laundry Equipment Service

Buffalo State University is seeking proposals for laundry equipment service within Erie County, specifically located in Buffalo, New York. The procurement will be conducted under the university's discretionary authority as outlined in NYS Education Law 355 (5) (a), with a non-traditional sealed bid process. Interested vendors must contact the designated campus contact within 15 business days of the May 15, 2025 posting date. The contract opportunity is structured for a one-year term, with a proposal submission deadline of June 6, 2025, at 4:00 PM EST. While specific detailed requirements for the laundry equipment service are not explicitly outlined, vendors should be prepared to provide comprehensive maintenance, repair, or replacement services for institutional laundry infrastructure. Proposals will likely be evaluated based on technical capabilities, service responsiveness, cost-effectiveness, and ability to meet institutional needs.

The contract includes specific sub-contracting goals that reflect New York State's commitment to diverse business participation. Minority-owned businesses have a 15.9% sub-contracting goal, while women-owned businesses have a 14.10% goal. Additionally, service-disabled veteran-owned businesses have a 6% contracting goal, demonstrating the state's dedication to supporting diverse business enterprises. Notably, there are no disadvantaged business sub-contracting requirements for this specific opportunity. No incumbent vendors or prior contract holders were identified in the documentation, suggesting this may be a new service procurement. While no specific budget range was provided, institutional laundry equipment service contracts typically range from $50,000 to $250,000 annually, depending on the scope and complexity of services required by Buffalo State University.
