Arc Tool Robotic Welding Training

The Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction (ODRC) is procuring a five-day onsite FANUC America ArcTool Robotic Welding System training program for four staff members at Marion Correctional Institution in Marion, Ohio, with a posted date of April 7, 2026, and a due date of April 27, 2026. The procurement seeks a qualified vendor to deliver comprehensive training covering the tasks and procedures necessary for operators, technicians, engineers, and programmers to set up and program FANUC America ArcTool Robotic Welders and associated software packages. All deliverables must be provided as all-inclusive, lump-sum pricing in a single quote that encompasses five days of onsite instruction, preparatory materials and books, travel expenses, and any other associated costs. The ODRC will provide the training space and equipment at Marion Correctional Institution, with welding arms already set up and ready for use, eliminating the need for equipment setup by the vendor. Prospective bidders must submit responses through the OhioBuys cooperative purchasing platform and are required to complete an Affirmation and Disclosure Form certifying compliance with executive orders prohibiting offshore service performance, offshore data location, and purchases from Russian institutions or companies, with contractors obligated to disclose all principal business locations, service performance locations, and data storage locations for both the contractor and any subcontractors.

The procurement documents do not specify set-aside designations for disadvantaged enterprises, minority-owned businesses, or other special categories of organizations, indicating that this opportunity is open to all qualified vendors capable of delivering the specialized FANUC robotic welding training. No incumbent vendor or current contractor information is detailed in the available contract documentation. The existing infrastructure at Marion Correctional Institution includes pre-installed and configured FANUC ArcTool Robotic Welding arms ready for training delivery, which vendors must integrate with their instructional program without requiring additional equipment setup or installation. The contract documentation does not specify an award value or budget range for this procurement, requiring vendors to submit competitive market-based pricing that reflects the full scope of training delivery and associated costs. Contractors must understand that any failure to provide required location information or failure to comply with the offshore service performance and Russian institution prohibitions may result in contract termination or no award, with the State reserving the right to immediately terminate any contract if services are performed outside the United States without a duly signed waiver.
