Safety Gloves

The New York State Thruway Authority is seeking bids for the procurement of specialized safety gloves, including lined goatskin leather gloves with Dupont Kevlar fiber lining and winter work gloves suitable for cold, wet conditions. The solicitation will be available starting April 19, 2024, and interested parties can download the documents from the Authority’s website or request a hard copy by mail. Bids must be submitted in sealed envelopes no later than 1:00 PM on May 15, 2024. The contract, once awarded, will span from the date of award through September 30, 2029, and will cover operations across four divisions located in Albany, Buffalo, New York City, and Syracuse. The procurement is not set aside for service-disabled veteran-owned businesses, and there are specific legal requirements related to lobbying activities that bidders should review on the Authority’s website. The contract is targeted at vendors with experience in similar procurement within the past five years, specifically those who have previously worked with entities like Ace Tool Repair. The project is classified under the SLED (Small, Local, or Emerging Business) organization type, and the primary contact for inquiries is Judy Jeffers-Taylor, Contract Management Specialist, reachable via email or phone. This opportunity emphasizes safety equipment tailored for harsh winter conditions and aims to ensure the safety and protection of personnel working in cold and wet environments across multiple divisions of the NYS Thruway Authority.
