OSHA 10 Instructor

Hudson Valley Community College is requesting proposals for an OSHA-10 General Industry training instructor to deliver on-site instruction at the Aeronautical Technical Institute at Albany International Airport, with sealed proposals due October 14, 2026 at 2:15 PM. The vendor must be listed as an eligible OSHA-10 General Industry trainer with individual instructors verified for OSHA qualification; subcontractors are not permitted.

The college requires instruction approximately six times per year in classroom and hangar/lab spaces with aviation-specific safety emphasis. Each cohort is limited to 18 students, and successful participants receive official OSHA-10 General Industry proof-of-training cards. The vendor provides all communication, student enrollment coordination, and billing for each cohort. The contract term runs from January 4, 2027 through December 22, 2028.

Proposals are evaluated equally across four criteria at 25% each: Instructor Qualifications and Certification, Program Compliance, Past Performance, and Cost. Cost proposals must itemize direct and indirect costs and be priced lower than or equal to any cooperative and state contract pricing the vendor holds. The vendor's pricing must be competitive with or better than existing cooperative purchasing vehicle rates.

Bidders must submit sealed proposals through the Bonfire online portal (https://hvcc.bonfirehub.com), in-person at Hudson Valley Community College Administration Building Room 240, 80 Vandenburgh Avenue, Troy, New York 12180, or by mail. A signed Non-Collusive Bidding Certification is required. Prior to contract execution, the successful vendor must obtain and maintain comprehensive general liability, professional liability, and workers' compensation insurance from an A.M. Best rated "A-" or better insurer, with Hudson Valley Community College, Rensselaer County, and the State University of New York named as additional insureds. The vendor must comply with New York State prevailing wage requirements under the General Municipal Law and register with the NYS DOL Contractor Registry. Award notification will be provided within 30 working days of proposal opening.
