DP-1375VS-110 Variable Speed Drill Press

Lansing Community College's Advanced Manufacturing Program is seeking to procure four Baileigh Industrial DP-1375VS-110 Variable Speed Drill Presses through a competitive bid process. The procurement is specifically targeted for a precise model with no substitutions allowed, emphasizing training consistency within their existing equipment infrastructure. The drill press specifications include a 110-volt input, 1.25-inch general material drilling capacity, 1-1/16-inch cast iron drilling capacity, and features like a 1/8 hp coolant pump motor. The solicitation, identified as DP-1375VS-110, was posted on October 29, 2025, with proposals due by November 10, 2025. Potential vendors must submit a W-9 form and Certificate of Insurance, and will be evaluated based on their ability to precisely match the specified Baileigh model (Stock number: BA9-1227902). The procurement process will be governed by Lansing Community College's established Terms and Conditions of Purchase.

The contract opportunity appears to have no specific set-aside designations or restrictions limiting respondents, though the college demonstrates a preference for United States manufacturers, particularly those with over 50% domestic manufacturing or assembly. The college's terms and conditions emphasize environmentally conscious purchasing practices and require vendors to maintain $1,000,000 in commercial general liability insurance. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the procurement involves four industrial drill presses, suggesting a moderate-scale equipment investment. The college reserves the right to terminate the contract with 30 days' notice under various circumstances, including contractor default or changes in institutional needs. Compliance with federal and state regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act and non-discrimination statutes, will be required of the successful vendor. The procurement is part of Lansing Community College's broader Advanced Manufacturing Program equipment acquisition strategy.
