MULTI FUNCTION DIGITAL TIMER

Westchester County is seeking procurement for a Multi Function Digital Timer, with a contract opportunity posted on June 10, 2025, and proposals due by June 12, 2025. The procurement appears to be focused on an electric timer product, specifically targeting government infrastructure or operational needs. The opportunity is governed by the Westchester County Bureau of Purchase and Supplies, which has established comprehensive procurement guidelines detailed in the attached "Empire Instructions and Conditions" document. Potential vendors must carefully review the instructions, which outline strict compliance requirements, bid evaluation processes, and delivery expectations. Key submission requirements include adherence to specification standards, potential lead-free certification requirements, and compliance with platform delivery protocols. The county reserves significant discretionary powers in the procurement process, including the ability to reject any or all bids and consider alternative products that meet specification requirements.

The contract opportunity demonstrates a strong emphasis on promoting diversity in vendor selection, with specific encouragement for minority and women-owned business enterprise (MBE and WBE) participation. The procurement instructions include provisions for electronic funds transfer (EFT) payments and tax exemption for county purchases, which may impact vendor financial considerations. While specific award values are not explicitly stated, the comprehensive nature of the procurement guidelines suggests a structured and potentially competitive bidding environment. The county maintains an anti-collusion policy and reserves the right to "no award" the request for quotation if more advantageous pricing can be obtained through alternative methods. Vendors must be prepared to demonstrate compliance with all specified requirements, including potential certifications, delivery standards, and operational qualifications outlined in the procurement documentation.
