LCC15-02Welding Units for Lamar Community College

Lamar Community College in Prowers County, Colorado issued a Document Quote (DQ) solicitation for the procurement of welding equipment through an amended solicitation process. The college sought to procure four 300-ampere multi-process welding units equipped with necessary attachments to support three welding processes: SMAW (Shielded Metal Arc Welding), GMAW (Gas Metal Arc Welding), and GTAW (Gas Tungsten Arc Welding). Each welding unit was required to include three essential attachments: a 300-amp MIG wire feed gun, a 300-amp TIG torch, and a 300-amp electrode holder to ensure full operational capability across all welding methodologies. The solicitation was originally posted on September 9, 2014, with an initial submission deadline of September 11, 2014 at 2:30 PM; however, Amendment 1 extended the deadline to September 12, 2014 at 1:30 PM. Quotes were to be submitted directly to Ava Bair at Lamar Community College, 2401 South Main, Lamar, Colorado 81052. The solicitation identified an initial unit price of $8,400.00 per welding unit, though an amended line item provided detailed specifications without a listed unit price. The document does not specify evaluation criteria, required qualifications for vendors, or other procurement parameters beyond the technical specifications.

The available documentation does not identify any set-aside designations, restrictions on respondent types, or disadvantaged enterprise requirements for this procurement opportunity. No information regarding incumbent vendors, current contractors, or existing infrastructure that would require integration with the new equipment is provided in the solicitation materials. The documentation does not disclose details regarding contract terms, renewal options, or specific funding sources for this acquisition. Based on the initial specifications, the estimated total contract value would be approximately $33,600.00 for four units at the stated unit price of $8,400.00 each; however, this figure may vary based on the amended specifications and final pricing submitted by qualified vendors. As this solicitation was posted in September 2014, the quote period has since expired and this opportunity is no longer active.
