Uclec kitchen equipment

Ulster County is seeking to procure commercial kitchen equipment for the Ulster County Sheriff's Office through a Request for Bid (RFB-UC25-142C) issued by the Ulster County Purchasing Department. The procurement specifically involves three key items: four Avantco Z1-R-WMS 29" WiFi-Enabled Solid Door Stainless Steel Reach-In Refrigerators, one Dinex PVC Roller Conveyor (16 ft. Stainless Steel), and two Avantco CO-46M Full Size Countertop Convection Ovens with Steam Injection. The bid requires loading dock delivery to the Ulster County Law Enforcement Center (UCLEC) located at 380 Boulevard in Kingston, NY. Bidders must provide individual unit prices and detailed specifications, with alternative equipment allowed only if it meets equivalent quality, design, and performance standards to the specified models. The original bid opening was scheduled for June 19, 2025, at 2:30 P.M., but an addendum has extended the deadline to June 20, 2025, at 2:30 P.M. due to the Juneteenth holiday. Bids must be physically submitted to 100 Development Court, Kingston, NY 12401, and the county reserves the right to award items individually or in whole based on the lowest responsive and responsible bid.

The procurement opportunity appears open to all qualified vendors without specific set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises. Bidders are required to comply with several county policies, including the MacBride Fair Employment Principles and the Iran Divestment Act. Vendors must provide a minimum one-year warranty for the equipment and submit Safety Data Sheets with their proposals. The bid represents a one-time purchase with a delivery requirement of four weeks following award notification. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the county has indicated flexibility in the procurement process, including the potential to extend pricing to other political subdivisions and educational institutions. The county maintains the right to reject any bid not deemed in its best interest, providing additional discretion in the selection process. Successful vendors will be responsible for delivering the specified kitchen equipment directly to the Ulster County Law Enforcement Center, ensuring precise and timely fulfillment of the procurement requirements.
