Purchase of Hazmat gloves & containers

The City of Yonkers is seeking competitive quotes for hazmat gloves and containers through Request for Quote (RFQ) 2025-8188, with a submission deadline of April 4, 2025. The procurement requires vendors to provide fixed and firm unit prices that include shipping and delivery, with specific emphasis on detailed product specifications. Vendors must clearly state the manufacturer, make, and model number for the proposed items, and if offering "equal" products, must submit comprehensive technical information demonstrating equivalent form and function. The Yonkers Police Department retains final approval authority for any "OR EQUAL" items, and vendors are required to submit Rider Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts under federal award regulations. Evaluation criteria will include price, product availability, lead time, and compliance with technical specifications, with the City reserving the right to award the contract based on what is deemed in its best interest.

The procurement opportunity appears to encourage participation from diverse vendors, though no specific set-aside designations for Minority-Owned Business Enterprises (MBE) or Women-Owned Business Enterprises (WBE) are explicitly mentioned in the provided documents. Vendors must comply with extensive federal regulatory standards, including equal employment opportunity regulations, Davis-Bacon Act wage standards, and Clean Air Act provisions. While no specific budget range is detailed, the contract involves purchasing hazardous materials handling equipment for the City of Yonkers, suggesting a public safety and emergency preparedness focus. The procurement is situated within Westchester County, New York, and follows county procurement guidelines that emphasize competitive bidding and vendor compliance. Potential respondents should be prepared to demonstrate technical capability, provide comprehensive product documentation, and meet stringent federal and local regulatory requirements.
