Purchase of various EMS supplies

The City of Yonkers Fire Department is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ 2026-2104) for the procurement of various Emergency Medical Services (EMS) supplies. The procurement seeks 13 specific medical and emergency response items, including disposable penlights, Naloxone nasal spray, Epinephrine auto-injectors, bandages, sodium chloride irrigation solution, tourniquets, bag valve masks, and medical gloves. Vendors are required to submit quotes by September 10, 2025, at 12:00 PM EST, with delivery expected as soon as possible to the Yonkers Fire Department Admin Office located at 470 Nepperhan Avenue. The RFQ mandates that vendors provide unit pricing, total pricing, and lead times for the requested items, with all price quotes required to be firm and inclusive of all incidental costs such as freight, packaging, and labor. The City reserves the right to award the contract based not only on price but also on availability and lead time, ensuring the best possible outcome for the municipal procurement.

The solicitation does not impose strict set-aside designations but does encourage vendors to indicate if they are New York State Certified Minority or Women Owned Business Enterprises. While certification is not mandatory, it may be considered during evaluation. Previous bid tabulations from RFB-7408 suggest that multiple vendors can be awarded contracts on a line-item basis, with potential vendors including Life-Assist, Inc., Bound Tree Medical, LLC, and Endure Industries, Inc. The total potential contract value varies significantly, with historical bid amounts ranging from approximately $18,478.50 to $51,652.96 depending on the specific items and vendors selected. Payment terms are established as Net 30 Days, and the City of Yonkers is exempt from sales and use taxes. Vendors must submit quotes via email to Vanessa.brembs@yonkersny.gov and complete a non-collusion certification as part of their proposal.
