Board authorizes $250,000 uniform contract after single compliant bid

Albany County Board · August 27, 2026

Summary

The board authorized a one-year contract (with two one-year renewals) with United Uniform Distribution LLC, the only properly completed bid, at an estimated cost of $250,000 to supply sheriff's office uniforms; members urged efforts to increase future bid participation and consider regional vendors.

Clerk introduced Item 7: authorizing an agreement with United Uniform Distribution LLC for staff uniforms for the sheriff's office following a Request for Proposals. The sheriff said United Uniform was the low bidder and the only company to properly complete the bid packet; the estimated cost is $250,000 for a one-year contract with two one-year renewal options.

"United Uniform was the low bidder and, unfortunately, the only one that properly filled out the bid. It's at an estimated cost of 250,000. It's a 1 year contract with 2 1 year renewals, and they are located in Syracuse," the sheriff said. Board members asked whether purchasing staff could assist vendors with bid forms and expressed a preference to buy local or regional when feasible. The motion was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote; members noted they would monitor performance and return to the board if issues arose.
