How to bid on V/C Floor Tile Installation for NYC Housing Authority Apartments

What the NYC Housing Authority is buying

The NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA) is seeking contractors to install vinyl composite (V/C) floor tile in apartments across several of its developments in Manhattan. This is a series of eleven requirement contracts, each for a specific development.

The contract term is for three years from the award date, with NYCHA having the option to extend for up to two additional one-year periods. This is a good opportunity for contractors specializing in flooring installation to secure long-term work with a major public housing agency.

Key dates and deadlines

The deadline for submitting your bid is August 07, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. All required forms and documentation must be properly completed, signed, and notarized where applicable, and submitted by this time.

A non-mandatory virtual pre-bid conference was held on Wednesday, June 17, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The deadline for submitting questions about the solicitation was Monday, June 22, 2026, at 2:00 PM, with answers released on Friday, June 26, 2026, at 2:00 PM.

If NYCHA receives no responses by the original bid submission deadline, the deadline will automatically extend for seven calendar days.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for flooring contractors, particularly those experienced in installing vinyl composite tile in residential settings.

Additionally, the bidder and any subcontractors identified in the bid must be registered with the New York State Department of Labor (NY DOL) pursuant to Article 8, Section 220-i of the New York State Labor Law. This solicitation is subject to Davis Bacon Prevailing Wage Schedule requirements.

How to respond to this RFP

First, access the original solicitation notice on NYC's City Record Online. The notice contains the PIN, pre-bid details, and instructions on how to obtain all necessary bid documents.

Submit your bid exactly as directed in the notice before the August 07, 2026, 2:00 PM ET deadline. Remember that Section 3 REO & OEO Plans must be submitted separately via eComply by the bid submission deadline, not included with your bid in iSupplier.

Tips for a competitive response

Ensure your firm is fully pre-qualified on the NYCHA-Tile Pre-Qualification List and that you are registered with the NY State Department of Labor. These are preconditions for submitting a bid.

Carefully review all bid documents, including the Special Notices and Conditions, Instructions to Bidders, and General Conditions, which can be found under the 'Contract Terms' tab. Pay close attention to the limiting award provision: NYCHA intends to award only one contract from this series to any single contractor initially, though additional awards may be possible.

Double-check that your bid response includes all required forms and documentation, and that everything is properly completed, signed, and notarized where applicable, before submission.
