SLCC Non-running JT15D engines for training purposes

Salt Lake Community College is requesting bids for two complete, non-running Pratt & Whitney JT15D engines intended for training and teardown purposes, with bids due June 5, 2026 and delivery required by August 1, 2026.

The JT15D platform is mandated to maintain compatibility with the College's existing instructional program; use of a different engine model would require curriculum modification. Scope includes two engines, associated accessories, two engine stands, and freight. Engines must be training-appropriate units only — the solicitation explicitly excludes operational, overhaul, or airworthy engines.

Vendor-provided estimated lead time will be evaluated as part of the overall selection criteria in determining best value. Bids must be submitted electronically through Utah Public Procurement Place (U3P) on Bonfire. Pricing is guaranteed for ninety days from the solicitation close date. Freight must be quoted FOB Destination Freight Prepaid unless a separate freight line exists, in which case product pricing is FOB Origin Less Freight with total freight cost shown on the freight line.

SLCC reserves the right to cancel the invitation at any time prior to purchase order issuance and may award by item, group of items, or overall low bid. The College may choose not to proceed after reviewing responses. Awards will be based on a fully executed purchase order or contract; vendors may not begin work or purchase materials before receiving such documentation.

All bids and bidder names will be publicly disclosed after award. Contractors must certify non-debarment from federal contracts, absence of outstanding Utah State Tax Commission liens, and compliance with anti-boycott provisions for contracts valued at $100,000 or more. Deliveries are F.O.B. destination with transportation costs borne by the contractor. Payment is due within thirty days of delivery or correct invoice receipt, whichever is later. Contractors must maintain commercial general liability insurance of not less than $1 million per occurrence and $3 million aggregate, plus workers' compensation insurance, and warrant goods are new and unused with a one-year warranty period.
