About this opportunity

The School Board of Hillsborough County, Florida has issued an Invitation to Quote (ITQ) numbered 25566-ITQ-EST for procuring specialized welding equipment for the new Rick Lott Technical College. Specifically, the procurement seeks two Scotchman Ironworker Model 50514-EC machines, two Deluxe #20 Punch & Die Starter Kits, and two Weld Coupon Benders for equipping two new welding training laboratories. The equipment must meet industry-standard specifications, including a 50-ton punch station and 6" throat depth, with comprehensive pricing that includes shipping, handling, and warranty. The ITQ was posted on November 4, 2025, with questions accepted until November 11, 2025, and quotes due by November 18, 2025, at 3:00 PM. The contract will be awarded to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, with the potential for automatic renewals for up to four additional one-year periods, contingent on budget appropriations and contractor performance.

The solicitation includes specific vendor restrictions, particularly through the Contracting with Entities of Foreign Countries of Concern Prohibited Affidavit, which bars vendors with significant connections to countries like China, Russia, Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, and Syria. Vendors must complete additional compliance documents, including a Vendor Affidavit regarding labor coercion prevention and a comprehensive Vendor Registration Form. The procurement encourages participation from small business enterprises and allows for potential use by other public agencies in Hillsborough County. While no specific budget range is explicitly stated, the ITQ allows for a cost-plus markup approach not exceeding 15% for additional as-needed items. The total project aims to fully equip the welding labs before the college's opening on December 1, 2025, with equipment delivery and placement at 1690 E. Park Rd. in Plant City, Florida, following Florida Department of Education purchasing guidelines.
