Purchase of Ops/ EMS supplies

The City of Yonkers is soliciting quotes for Special Operations and Emergency Medical Services (EMS) supplies through a Request for Quotation (RFQ) numbered 2025-10052. The procurement specifically seeks four key items: one ULINE H2FLOW Eyewash Station, ten Economy Fold-In-Half Tables (72 x 30"), one SDS Compliance Center, and one 8 oz Water Preservative. Vendors must submit fixed and firm unit prices that include shipping and delivery, with ASAP delivery required. The RFQ allows vendors to propose "or equal" products, but mandates detailed technical specification sheets for alternative items, with final approval reserved for the Yonkers Fire Department. Evaluation criteria include price, availability, and lead time, with the City retaining the right to award based on the most advantageous proposal. The quote submission deadline is May 20, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with all vendors required to complete a non-collusion certification and submit Rider Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts under Federal Awards.

The procurement appears open to all qualified vendors, with an encouragement for New York State Certified Minority or Women Owned Business Enterprises to participate. Vendors must comply with extensive federal regulations, including equal employment opportunity clauses, Clean Air Act compliance, and federal debarment requirements. No specific incumbent vendors are mentioned in the documentation. While no specific award value is explicitly stated, the procurement suggests a relatively modest acquisition for fire department operational and safety supplies. Vendors must verify they are not excluded from federal contracts and must disclose any potential lobbying activities. Payment terms are set at Net 30 Days, and the City of Yonkers is exempt from sales and use taxes. Failure to comply with the comprehensive contract provisions could result in contract termination, potential civil penalties, and future federal contract ineligibility.
