Purchase of Various EMS supplies for the Fire Department

The City of Yonkers Fire Department is seeking quotations for various Emergency Medical Services (EMS) supplies through a Request for Quotation (RFQ 2025-7720) within Westchester County, New York. The procurement includes five specific medical and emergency items: Ipratropium Bromide/Albuterol solution, Microdot PRO EMS Meter Kits, Nitrile gloves, Glutose 15GM, and Extrication Collars. The RFQ requires vendors to submit fixed and firm unit prices that include shipping, delivery, and all incidental costs, with an emphasis on immediate availability and shortest lead times. Quotes are due by 12 PM on March 19, 2025, and must be submitted via email to Vanessa Brembs. The City reserves the right to award the contract based not only on price but also on availability and lead time, considering what is in the best interest of the city. Evaluation criteria will include pricing, delivery capabilities, and responsiveness to the specified requirements. Vendors must provide complete lead times for each requested item and acknowledge that delivery will be made to a location without a loading dock, though a forklift will be available for pallet removal.

The solicitation encourages participation from New York State Certified Minority or Women Owned Business Enterprises, providing an opportunity for such organizations to compete for the contract. Vendors must complete a certification of non-collusion as part of their submission and are exempt from sales and use taxes. Payment terms are set at Net 30 Days, which provides standard financial terms for the awarded vendor. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement appears to be for essential medical supplies for the Yonkers Fire Department's EMS operations. All addenda and updates to the solicitation will be posted on the Empire State Purchasing Group System, and vendors are responsible for ensuring they receive all current information. The City of Yonkers maintains flexibility in the award process, prioritizing not just cost but also the overall value and responsiveness of the proposed solution to the department's emergency medical supply needs.
