About this file

The procurement includes three specific training units: one TABLE TOP HEAT PUMP TRAINER (Item# TU-701), one DELUXE TU-406 WITH DUCT WORK & TV (Item# TU-406C), and one DELUXE TU-206 WITH DUCT WORK & TV (Item# TU-206C). These training units will serve as instructional instruments in the classroom to support student learning and course completion in HVAC programs. Vendors believing they can provide identical or equivalent products should contact Rina Drescher at drescherr@midlandstech.edu by 5:00 p.m. on July 24, 2023. The college reserves the right to solicit the proposed products and services in the future and does not guarantee that responding vendors will receive a request for offer or that any solicitation will occur.
