Purchase of various medical supplies for Police ESU

The City of Yonkers Police Department's Emergency Services Unit (ESU) is soliciting quotes for various medical supplies through Request for Quotation (RFQ) RFQUA 2025-6840. Specifically, the procurement seeks 4 cases of Standard Hand Towels (16 X 27") and 2 cases of Standard Flat Bed Sheets (Twin XL, 66 X 102"). The quote submission deadline is March 6, 2025, at 12 pm, with an immediate delivery requirement. Evaluation criteria include price, availability, lead time, and product specifications, with the city reserving the right to award based on the best overall value. Vendors must provide fixed unit prices that include shipping and delivery, and must submit detailed technical specifications for any "OR EQUAL" products. The Yonkers Police Department will conduct final approval of alternative product submissions. Vendors are required to submit Rider Contract Provisions for Non-Federal Entity Contracts and provide manufacturer, make, and model information for quoted items.

The procurement appears to have potential set-aside considerations for New York State Certified Minority or Women Owned Business Enterprises, offering potential preferential treatment for diverse vendors. The contract is subject to federal funding guidelines, potentially through FEMA, which mandates strict compliance with equal employment opportunity regulations, Davis-Bacon Act wage standards, and clean air and water pollution control guidelines. Vendors must verify that their principals are not excluded from federal transactions and must agree to comprehensive audit and record access provisions. While specific budget ranges are not explicitly stated, the procurement is for medical supplies for the Police Emergency Services Unit. Contractors must demonstrate compliance with non-discrimination standards, administrative requirements, and provide comprehensive documentation as part of their proposal. The procurement includes net 30-day payment terms and exempts the city from sales and use taxes, creating a structured financial framework for potential vendors.
