All equipment must be delivered to Warren Tech in Lakewood, Colorado by June 1, 2026, with a desired Purchase Order start date of April 1, 2026.

Award will be made to the responsible respondent with the most advantageous quote to the state, with price and cost as the primary evaluation factors, though sample quality and delivery lead time may also be considered.

This procurement is funded wholly or partially through the Carl D. Perkins Career and Technical Education Improvement Act of 2006, a federal grant program, which subjects the contract to comprehensive federal compliance requirements including System for Award Management (SAM) registration and maintenance, domestic procurement preferences for United States-produced goods, debarment and suspension verification, and Byrd Anti-Lobbying Amendment certifications. Respondents must submit a signed Vendor Response and Price Sheet along with a current W-9 form via email to Lynn Beltran, Director of Purchasing, at lynn.beltran@rrcc.edu, and certify whether they qualify as a small business, woman-owned business, minority business, or service-disabled veteran-owned small business. Prior to Purchase Order execution, the awarded respondent must provide proof of Good Standing with the Colorado Secretary of State and an insurance certificate meeting Purchase Order requirements. The total budget for this procurement is $70,000.00, and no incumbent vendors or current contractors are identified. The solicitation encourages affirmative action provisions for small and minority businesses, women's business enterprises, and labor surplus area firms, reflecting federal requirements applicable to federally funded procurement activities.
