Aircraft Training Equipment and Tools at TSTC

Texas State Technical College (TSTC) is seeking qualified suppliers for Request for Proposal (RFP #275), an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contract for aircraft training equipment and tools. The procurement is specifically targeting Engine Trainers, Landing Gear Trainers, Aircraft System Trainers, and Engine Tools to support technical training programs across TSTC's 11 campuses. The solicitation covers multiple NIGP commodity codes including helicopter navigation equipment, aviation software, aircraft avionics, master control systems, landing/braking systems, and power systems. The RFP opened on November 26, 2024, at 11:30 AM CST and will close on December 18, 2024, at 2:00 PM CST. Suppliers must submit comprehensive proposals through the Rsolution/Jaggaer procurement system, with all bid components required to avoid disqualification. Evaluation criteria will focus on providing the best value, with TSTC reserving the right to make multiple awards or to award the contract in whole, in part, or not at all. The initial contract term is one year, with options to extend for four additional one-year terms, and pricing must remain fixed for the initial contract year.

While a Historically Underutilized Business (HUB) Subcontracting Plan is not initially required, it becomes mandatory for any project award exceeding $100,000. The procurement allows for multiple vendors to be selected based on their ability to provide the best overall value to TSTC. Any price increases during renewal periods will require prior approval from TSTC. Suppliers must submit a signed Execution of Offer to be considered for the contract. Technical support for the procurement system is available through a toll-free number (1-800-233-1121), with specific menu options for assistance. The procurement office is located at 3801 Campus Dr., Waco, TX 76705, with a contact number of 254-867-3757.
