TSTC Background

Texas State Technical College ("TSTC") is a coeducational two-year institution of higher education offering courses of study in technical vocational education for which there is demand within the State of Texas.

TSTC is mandated to contribute to the educational and economic development of the State of Texas by offering occupationally oriented programs with supporting academic course work, emphasizing highly specialized advanced and emerging technical and vocational areas for certificates or associate degrees.

Our mission, “to place more Texans in great paying jobs,” drives our institution. TSTC is pushing the boundaries in education, making outcomes the driving metric of success. We currently have 11 campuses across the state, with another new campus recently approved by the State Legislature that should be built and operating in the next few years. For more information about TSTC, go to http://tstc.edu/about.

Purpose:

Texas State Technical College (“TSTC”) is issuing this Request for Proposal (“RFP”) to solicit suppliers that can customize heavy duty workbenches for the TSTC Aviation program.

General Information:

TSTC is requesting that these benches be built and delivered by June 15th, 2024.

Products will be purchased with grant funds. Grant guidelines require that payment is made once the services/equipment are received. Payment is sent out within 30 days of services/equipment received.

If a SIGNED Execution of Offer and HUB Subcontracting Plan is not submitted the bid will be disqualified (please make sure forms are signed when document is uploaded). TSTC anticipates the contract to exceed $100,000 and will require that a HUB Subcontracting Plan be submitted. Suppliers are not required to meet the State of Texas HUB goals however, TSTC requires that all suppliers make a good faith effort in achieving those goals.
