Supply automotive supplies - bench stock

Clinton County Highway Department is seeking sealed bids for automotive supplies and bench stock through Bid Number 28-2025, with proposals due on October 30, 2025, at 11:30 AM. The procurement covers a comprehensive range of automotive and maintenance supplies, including automotive parts, filters, fluids, tools, safety equipment, electrical components, and specialized hardware essential for maintaining the county's vehicle fleet and roadway infrastructure. Bidders are required to submit detailed pricing for individual items, with the county reserving the right to award contracts to multiple vendors by item, category, or in bulk. The contract term will span from January 1, 2026, through December 31, 2026, with vendors expected to maintain consistent pricing throughout the contract period. Delivery expectations include a two-week turnaround after order placement, with supplies to be delivered to the Clinton County Highway Department in Plattsburgh. Evaluation criteria will focus on identifying the lowest responsible bidder, considering factors such as reliability, product quality, conformity to specifications, and overall value. Mandatory submission requirements include completing non-collusion certification, Iran Divestment Act compliance documentation, and a sexual harassment prevention statement.

The bid documents do not explicitly outline specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged business enterprises. No information is provided about incumbent vendors or existing technological infrastructure that would require integration. While the procurement does not specify a precise budget range, the solicitation suggests a flexible, as-needed purchasing approach where the county does not guarantee minimum purchase quantities. Potential vendors must submit comprehensive pricing schedules and demonstrate capability to fulfill diverse automotive supply needs across various categories. Bidders will need to provide reference information and prove their ability to consistently meet the county's automotive and maintenance supply requirements. The procurement approach appears designed to establish a flexible, comprehensive supply arrangement that can adapt to the Clinton County Highway Department's operational needs throughout the 2026 calendar year.
