A competitive bid, RFB-7393 for the Purchase of a variety of Information Technology hardware and technology products manufactured by Promethean, Hewlett Packard, TrippLite, and Texas Instruments, or Yonkers approved alternatives, for the Yonkers Public Schools was released on 2/7/2025 with a due date of 2/28/2025.

Gorton High School, Roosevelt High School Early College Studies, Saunders Trades and Technical School, Riverside High School, and the Barack Obama School for Social Justice.
These items are crucial for the effective operation of the programs. The selected vendor must be a certified Minority and Women-owned Business Enterprise (MWBE) in New York State. |
