The East Irondequoit Central School District is seeking competitive bids for athletic letters and pins through Request for Bid (RFB-010-026), which covers procurement of chenille letters and metal athletic sport inserts for the 2025-2026 school year. The procurement specifically requires vendors to provide letters in multiple sizes (8", 7", 5", and 3") with specific color and mounting requirements, along with metal inserts for various sports including football, field hockey, soccer, volleyball, swimming, cross country, tennis, basketball, wrestling, bowling, and other athletic activities. Vendors must submit several mandatory documents, including a non-collusive bidding certification, Iranian Divestment Act certification, and bid price summary. The bid is scheduled to be opened on May 15, 2025, at 9:00 a.m., with pricing effective from July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2026. The district reserves significant procurement flexibility, including the ability to reject any bid, award contracts on an item or entire bid basis, and potentially extend contract terms for up to one year with mutual consent. Vendors must provide pricing inclusive of all delivery costs with no additional charges and be prepared to submit samples or alternative brands if requested.

The procurement appears to have no specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, and no incumbent vendors are explicitly mentioned in the documentation. The district will evaluate bids based on comprehensive pricing, product quality, and compliance with specified requirements, with estimated quantities based on current school needs. While no specific budget range is provided, the procurement covers a comprehensive set of athletic awards for multiple sports teams and activities. The bid requires new, standard equipment with full manufacturer's warranty, suggesting quality and performance are key evaluation criteria. Vendors must demonstrate ability to meet precise specifications for letter sizes, styles, and athletic insert configurations. The contract potentially allows for annual renewal, providing potential long-term engagement for the successful bidder. All submitted materials will be evaluated for complete compliance with district specifications and bidding instructions.
