IFB 21-647 FANUC CERT Carts

Yavapai College has issued Invitation for Bid (IFB) 21-647 for the procurement of specialized robotics equipment, specifically seeking three FANUC CERT carts with precise technical specifications. The procurement involves three LR Mate 200iD/4S robots with R-30iB Controllers and one iRVision 2D guidance Hardware and Software system. The college has explicitly stated that they will not accept educational substitutions for the equipment, emphasizing their need for standard commercial-grade robotics components. The bid was posted on August 6, 2020, with a strict submission deadline of August 20, 2020, providing potential vendors approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their competitive proposals. The solicitation appears to be a standard competitive procurement process targeting specialized robotics equipment for the college's technical infrastructure.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions on vendor participation were explicitly mentioned in the available documentation. The procurement does not indicate preferences for disadvantaged business enterprises or small business participation. While the bid specifies precise technical requirements for FANUC robotic equipment, it does not provide details about potential contract value or budget range. The specification that the college will not accept educational substitutions suggests they are seeking high-performance, production-grade robotic systems rather than training or educational models. The focused nature of the request implies a targeted procurement for specific technical capabilities within Yavapai College's technological infrastructure, potentially for advanced robotics training, research, or specialized operational needs.
