Storage container 40 FT high

Westchester County is seeking to procure a 40-foot high cube storage shipping container through its Bureau of Purchase and Supplies. The container specifications require a high-durability unit constructed from Corten A steel, meeting ISO 146*-1 compliance standards, with external dimensions of 40 ft (length) x 8 ft (width) x 9 ft 6 in (height). The container must feature four side-mounted doors, a marine-grade plywood or steel floor, standard air vents, lockbox-ready latches, and steel locking bars. Potential vendors must submit bids by November 4, 2025, with the procurement opportunity initially posted on October 31, 2025. The county reserves the right to award the contract based on individual item evaluation, with strict requirements that all quoted items be new equipment, meet specified standards, and be free from defects. Vendors must demonstrate full compliance with federal, state, and county regulations, and provide detailed product specifications that match or exceed the outlined container requirements.

The procurement opportunity appears to encourage participation from minority and women-owned business enterprises (MBE/WBE), with potential set-aside provisions for such vendors. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the container's complexity and specialized requirements suggest a significant procurement value. Vendors must be prepared to accept electronic funds transfer (EFT) for payments and provide certification of product compliance, including potential lead-free certifications where applicable. The county maintains sole discretion in determining bid acceptability and may reject proposals that do not meet stringent evaluation criteria. No incumbent vendors are specifically mentioned in the documentation, and potential contractors should be prepared to provide comprehensive documentation demonstrating their ability to meet the precise technical specifications of the 40-foot high cube storage container. Additional considerations include the potential for customization, such as color and branding options, which may factor into the evaluation process.
