RFQ 2026-Musical Instrument Risers for the City Of Yonkers Public Schools

The City of Yonkers Public Schools is conducting a Request for Quotation (RFQ 2026) for Musical Instrument Risers, seeking competitive pricing for five different types of risers to be delivered across various school locations. The procurement specifically requires vendors to quote on Wenger FlipForm, Tourmaster, and School Specialty National Public Seating risers in multiple configurations and carpet colors, with quantities ranging from 2 to 24 units. Interested vendors must submit electronic quotations to Tulumba.Ntumba@yonkersny.gov by August 15, 2025, at 2:00 PM, with delivery expected as soon as possible (ASAP). Evaluation criteria will include price, availability, and lead time, with the City reserving the right to make award decisions in its best interest. Vendors must provide firm pricing with no adjustments, inclusive of all incidental costs such as freight, packaging, materials, labor, fees, overhead, and profit, with payment terms set at Net 30 Days.

The RFQ does not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises. The procurement appears open to qualified vendors capable of meeting the specified riser requirements and delivery timelines. While no incumbent vendors are mentioned, the document requires vendors to complete a non-collusion certification and acknowledge that the contract will be governed by New York State law. The City of Yonkers, located in Westchester County, is tax-exempt and will evaluate submissions based on comprehensive value proposition. Although a specific budget range is not disclosed, the procurement covers multiple riser types across several school locations, suggesting a potentially substantial contract value depending on the final selected quantities and specifications.
