Purchase of an Astro Max Drone

The County of Ontario is soliciting sealed bids for the purchase of an Astro Max Drone under solicitation number B26085. Interested vendors must submit their bids by 3:00 PM on September 18, 2026. While the County prefers electronic submittals via the eProcurement Portal, paper bids may be filed with the Ontario County Purchasing Director in Canandaigua, New York, prior to the deadline. Bids will be publicly opened and read via a Webex meeting. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible vendor that meets all specified requirements. All submitted prices must be net delivered prices. Prospective bidders are required to complete several mandatory certifications and provide specific documentation as part of their submission. These include a Non-Collusive Bidding Certification, a Bidder's Statement on Sexual Harassment compliance, and a Bidder's Statement on Stormwater Discharge to ensure compliance with the Ontario County stormwater management program and the New York State Pollutant Discharge Elimination System. Additionally, vendors must provide an Emergency Contact Form for Catastrophic Emergency Response, which requires listing at least three authorized individuals and a backup delivery plan. This ensures that the successful vendor can provide goods or services on a 24/7 basis during a declared State of Emergency, with a response time of 12 hours on weekdays and 24 hours on weekends or holidays.
