Pump parts

Westchester County is seeking pump parts through a Request for Bid (RFB-WC-25109) issued by its Bureau of Purchase and Supplies. The procurement specifically targets 15 units of Part#NPKAAAUCDJJ KOPKIT PULSAR 25H/55H-D HEAD, with strict requirements for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts. Vendors must have direct authorization from Pulsafeeder to distribute in Westchester County, and no aftermarket or substitute parts will be accepted. The bid is due on May 15, 2025, before 2 PM, with delivery requested to New Rochelle, NY 10801. Key evaluation criteria include vendor authorization, part authenticity, and compliance with county procurement terms such as electronic funds transfer (EFT) payment and FOB destination pricing. Potential bidders should note the payment terms are 2% 10 net 30, and the county reserves the right to reject any bid or portion thereof.

The procurement opportunity includes set-aside provisions for minority and women-owned business enterprises (MBE/WBE) and service-disabled veteran-owned businesses (SDVOB), which may provide competitive advantages for qualifying vendors. Vendors must certify independence in pricing and absence of collusion, adhering to various state and local legal requirements. While a specific budget range is not explicitly stated, the procurement allows for potential purchases by other New York State political subdivisions under the same contract, which could expand the potential contract value. The county's procurement approach emphasizes local economic participation, compliance with diversity objectives, and strict quality control through the requirement of OEM parts. These provisions suggest a comprehensive approach to procurement that balances technical specifications, vendor qualifications, and broader socioeconomic goals.
