S/B Welding Fume Control System and Booths

Georgia Northwestern Technical College is seeking a sole-source procurement for a specialized Welding Fume Control System and Booths through an electronic Request for Quotes (eRFQ) process. The procurement is being conducted under the State Purchasing Act and specifically requires the purchase and installation of a system that exactly matches existing welding program equipment, with no brand or model substitutions permitted. Vendors must be capable of providing complete mechanical installation of the system and must submit their quotes through the Team Georgia Marketplace (TGM) Bid Event platform. The solicitation was posted on May 6, 2025, with quotes due by May 19, 2025, providing potential vendors approximately two weeks to prepare and submit their responses. Technical support for registration and bid access is available through the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) Customer Service Help Desk, which can be contacted by phone at 404-657-6000 or email at ProcurementHelp@doas.ga.gov during standard business hours.

No specific set-aside designations or restrictions for disadvantaged enterprises were explicitly mentioned in the procurement documentation. The procurement appears to be a one-time purchase with a focus on exact equipment matching for the existing welding program infrastructure. While no specific budget range was provided, the procurement is for a complete system including equipment and installation. The solicitation emphasizes a strict requirement for a sole brand of welding fume control system, which suggests a very specific technical requirement that may limit competitive bidding. Interested vendors must carefully review the e-RFQ instruction document and the attached Bid Specification and Requirement sheet available in the Team Georgia Marketplace platform to fully understand the procurement details and submission requirements.
