Henry Schein Dental Supplies - E&I Contract EI00075

The University at Buffalo plans to acquire Henry Schein Dental Supplies and Equipment through a contract awarded by E&I Cooperative Services under Contract # EI00075, leveraging a procurement process authorized by section 163 (3) (vi) that allows for purchases from consortiums or similar entities without a formal competitive process when justified by favorable pricing. The contract, which runs from June 1, 2021, to May 31, 2026, with an option for a five-year renewal, covers the supply of dental products and equipment, and interested vendors offering compatible or equivalent items are encouraged to contact the university for procurement discussions. The university has previously purchased similar goods from out-of-state vendors within the past three years, and the vendors involved in similar contracts include Henry Schein Incorporated and Patterson Dental Supply Incorporated. The procurement process was posted on November 5, 2025, with a response deadline of November 28, 2025. The contract is managed by the State University of New York (SUNY) system, specifically at the University at Buffalo, located in Erie County, New York. The primary contact for this procurement is Ryan Lysarz, the Senior Buyer, who can be reached via email or phone for further inquiries. This procurement does not specify any set-aside for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses and is open to vendors who can supply the required dental supplies and equipment under the terms of the existing cooperative agreement.
