Cape Cod Community College (CCCC) is issuing an Invitation for Bid (IFB) for the purchase of up to three used/refurbished Pratt & Whitney PT6 engines with stands. The college requires these engines and stands to be used as training aids for its Part 147 Aviation Maintenance Technician (AMT) training program located at the Plymouth Municipal Airport. The IFB details the required features for the engines and stands, and bidders can submit bids for individual engine and stand sets, with the college reserving the right to award up to three separate contracts. Sealed bids are due by October 17, 2023 at 4pm EST, and the college plans to award the contract(s) on or before October 23, 2023. Bids will be evaluated, and the contract(s) will be awarded to the responsive and responsible bidder(s) offering the lowest price for the requested engine and stand sets. Bidders must provide completed required forms and product specification sheets for the items they are bidding on. The contract will be funded by a Congressionally Directed Grant Award from the U.S. Department of Education, and the college reserves the right to accept or reject any and all bids, and to cancel the IFB if it is in the best interest of the college or Commonwealth.

The IFB does not mention any set-aside designations or restrictions on the types of organizations that can respond. There is also no information provided about any incumbent vendors or current contractors, or any existing infrastructure or technology that requires integration. The IFB does not specify a budget range or possible award values.
