Off-road vehicles, watercraft, and trailer – ulster county sheriff

Ulster County's Purchasing Department, specifically for the Sheriff's Office, is conducting a competitive bid (RFB-UC25-054) to procure specialized off-road vehicles, watercraft, and a trailer. The procurement includes two 2025 Can-Am Outlander XT850 ATVs, one 2025 Can-Am Defender MAX Limited Cab HD10 UTV, two 2025 Sea-Doo RXT-X 325 watercraft with factory-installed premium audio systems, and one 2025 Triton Elite WCII 2-Place Aluminum Watercraft Trailer. The bid was released on July 17, 2025, with proposals due on July 31, 2025, at 4:00 P.M. at the Ulster County Purchasing Department. Delivery will be made to 317 Shamrock Lane, Kingston, NY 12401, with all equipment required to be new, unused, fully assembled, and immediately operational. Evaluation criteria emphasize comprehensive pricing, including all associated fees such as shipping, handling, fuel surcharges, and dealer preparation. The bid allows for partial bidding and potential individual or sectional awards based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid.

The procurement does not explicitly specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, though standard compliance requirements include submitting non-collusion affidavits, Iran Divestment Act compliance, and ownership interest disclosures. Bidders must demonstrate the ability to provide equipment that meets detailed manufacturer specifications, with alternative "or equal" items permitted if they satisfy quality, design, and performance standards. The County reserves the right to reject any bid and may opt to purchase items through existing New York State Contracts when feasible. While specific budget ranges are not disclosed, the comprehensive nature of the bid suggests a significant investment in specialized law enforcement and emergency response equipment. Potential vendors must be prepared to provide factory-new vehicles and watercraft that meet the Ulster County Sheriff's Office operational requirements, with all standard equipment included, even if not explicitly detailed in the bid specifications.
