Lumber and Building Supplies

The Harrison Central School District in Westchester County, New York, is soliciting bids for Request for Bid (RFB) #25/26-08, seeking a comprehensive supply of lumber and building supplies for the upcoming fiscal year. The procurement covers an extensive range of construction materials including Douglas Fir, Southern Yellow Pine, Ponderosa Pine, plywood variations, insulation, metal studs, drywall materials, and miscellaneous building supplies. Bidders are required to quote prices for specific quantities, typically 5 units per line item, and are expected to bid on at least 85% of the listed items to remain eligible for consideration. The bid documents will be available starting May 19, 2025, through BidNet Direct, with proposals due on Wednesday, June 4, 2025, at 2:00 p.m. at the district's Business Office. The contract term is set for July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026, with pricing to remain firm throughout this period, and the district reserves the right to award the entire bid to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder.

While no specific set-aside designations or restrictions on bidder types are explicitly mentioned in the documentation, the district is seeking vendors capable of providing a comprehensive range of building supplies with competitive pricing. The bid includes a unique provision allowing bidders to provide a percentage discount from manufacturer's suggested retail price (MSRP) for additional supplies not explicitly listed in the bid specification. Although the exact budget range is not specified, the breadth of materials required suggests a significant procurement value for the school district. The document does not reference incumbent vendors or require integration with existing infrastructure, focusing instead on a straightforward supply contract for lumber and building materials. Potential bidders should be prepared to demonstrate their ability to meet the detailed specifications and provide consistent, high-quality building supplies throughout the contract period.
