Purchase of Tingley HazProof Boots

The City of Yonkers Fire Department is seeking quotes for Tingley HazProof Boots through a Request for Quotation (RFQUA 2025-10262) issued by the Bureau of Purchasing. The procurement involves acquiring protective footwear in three specific sizes: 10 pairs of size 10, 20 pairs of size 12, and 10 pairs of size 14. Vendors are permitted to quote an "or equal" product, but must provide detailed specification sheets for Yonkers Fire Department approval. The quote is due by May 16, 2025 at 12:00 PM, with delivery expected as soon as possible. Evaluation criteria include unit pricing, shipping costs, lead time, and product availability, with the City reserving the right to award based on the most advantageous proposal. Vendors must submit a completed quotation form, specify manufacturer details, and include the Rider Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts. Technical requirements mandate that any alternative products must demonstrate equivalent form and function to the specified Tingley HazProof Boots.

The procurement opportunity does not appear to have strict set-aside designations, though vendors are asked to indicate if they are a New York State Certified Minority or Women Owned Business Enterprise. While this certification is not mandatory for submission, it may provide additional consideration. The contract is subject to federal procurement guidelines, as evidenced by the required submission of Rider Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts under 2 C.F.R. 200.326. The City of Yonkers is tax-exempt, and payment terms are established at Net 30 Days with all quoted prices expected to be firm and inclusive of incidental costs such as freight, packaging, materials, labor, fees, overhead, and profit. Though specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement involves approximately 40 pairs of specialized protective boots. Vendors must demonstrate compliance with comprehensive federal regulations, including equal employment opportunity standards, Davis-Bacon Act wage requirements, and environmental compliance guidelines.
