How to bid on Vinyl Floor Tile Installation at Seven Bronx NYCHA Developments

What NYCHA is buying and why it matters

The NYC Housing Authority (NYCHA) is seeking contractors to install vinyl composition floor tile in apartments. This work will be performed across seven specific developments in the Bronx: Bronx River, Monroe, Justice Sotomayor, Millbrook, Mitchell, Mott Haven, and Patterson Houses.

NYCHA plans to award separate three-year contracts for each development, with the possibility of two one-year extensions. A key detail for bidders is that NYCHA generally intends to limit awards to one contract per contractor, though it may award one additional contract in certain circumstances. This means a single firm could potentially secure up to two of these requirement contracts.

Key dates and what happens at the deadline

The deadline for submitting bids is August 14, 2026, at 2:00 PM ET. All required forms and documentation must be submitted by this time. If no responses are received by the original deadline, the submission deadline will automatically extend for seven calendar days.

Questions about this solicitation were due on June 24, 2026, at 2:00 PM. The answers to those questions were released on July 1, 2025, at 2:00 PM.

Who this opportunity suits

This opportunity is suitable for construction firms specializing in flooring installation, particularly those with experience in vinyl composition tile. Bidders must already be on NYCHA’s approved Tile Pre-Qualification List (PQL) to be considered eligible for an award.

Additionally, contractors and their subcontractors 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, as this solicitation is subject to Davis Bacon Prevailing Wage Schedules.
