Retherm Equipment

The New York State Office of Mental Health has secured approval to bypass advertising requirements and enter into a single-source contract with Burlodge USA Inc. for the supply of rethermalization equipment and systems. This initiative is part of a pilot program aimed at diversifying the agency’s retherm offerings. The contract, valued at $2 million, will span two years, beginning on March 1, 2025, and concluding on February 28, 2027, pending approval from the New York State Office of the Comptroller. The exemption was granted because Burlodge USA Inc. is the designated sole-source provider for this equipment. The contract will serve facilities in New York and Rockland counties, with the primary office located at the OMH Central Office. The procurement process was initiated with a solicitation posted on March 12, 2025, with a response deadline of March 19, 2025. The contract falls under the NAICS code 812990, which pertains to other personal services, indicating specialized equipment procurement. The designated contact for inquiries is Jack Baumbach, a Contract Management Specialist, whose email is provided for further questions. This arrangement underscores the agency’s intent to streamline the acquisition process for innovative rethermalization solutions without the need for competitive bidding, emphasizing the importance of the pilot test in potentially expanding its retherm program.
