Please note: This is a Sole Source Notification. Pursuant to Section 3-05 of the NYC Procurement Policy Board Rules, it is the intent of the New York City Police Department (“NYPD”), to enter into sole source negotiations with Duclos Corporation dba Gladding-Hearn Shipbuilding (“Gladding-Hearn”), located at PO Box 300, 1 Riverside Avenue, Somerset, Massachusetts 02726.
