Personal care items - sheriff's department

Clinton County Sheriff's Department is conducting a competitive sealed bid procurement for personal care items to be used in their detention facility during the 2026 calendar year. The procurement seeks multiple personal hygiene products including 50 cases of toothbrushes (35-40 tuft), 20 cases of 0.6 oz toothpaste, 30 cases of 1.5 oz toothpaste, 35 cases of single blade orange razors, 30 cases of tampons, 45 cases of maxi-thin pads, and 3 cases of anti-bacterial soap. The bid was issued on September 24, 2025, with proposals due on October 9, 2025, at 11:30 AM. The contract period will run from January 1, 2026, to December 31, 2026, with quarterly purchase orders and required weekly deliveries to the Clinton County Sheriff/Jail Department located at 25 McCarthy Drive in Plattsburgh, NY. Evaluation criteria will focus on lowest responsible bidder meeting all specification requirements, with the county reserving the right to reject any proposals, award by individual items, or pursue alternative procurement methods.

The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders must comply with various legal requirements including non-discrimination policies, sexual harassment prevention regulations, and the Iran Divestment Act. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly detailed, the procurement involves multiple product categories with substantial case quantities suggesting a potentially significant annual contract value. The bid allows for multiple vendors to be awarded portions of the contract, indicating potential for split awards based on vendor capabilities and pricing. Delivery specifications require vendors to unload shipments themselves during specified hours (Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.), and all vendors must submit mandatory documentation demonstrating compliance with county procurement guidelines. No incumbent vendor information was provided in the available documentation.
