Survey Equipment with Training Included

The Virginia Department of Energy has issued a state and local contract opportunity (ID: 67fd17ee558e687ab5016462) for survey equipment with integrated training, specifically targeting Washington County. The procurement involves acquiring an i83 Complete Base Rover Pair, which includes a TT9P tablet and LS8 system, with a mandatory requirement for one day of onsite setup training for engineering staff. The solicitation was posted on April 14, 2025, with proposals due by April 21, 2025, creating a relatively tight seven-day window for potential vendors to prepare and submit their responses. The primary deliverable is a comprehensive survey equipment package that includes hardware, software, and hands-on training to ensure proper implementation and use by the county's engineering team. Vendors must demonstrate technical proficiency with the specified survey equipment and the ability to provide comprehensive, on-site training that meets the department's specific operational requirements.

While no specific set-aside designations or disadvantaged enterprise requirements are explicitly mentioned in the provided documentation, potential vendors should be prepared to meet standard state procurement qualifications. The contract appears to be focused on providing specialized survey technology for the Virginia Department of Energy, which suggests a preference for vendors with proven experience in geospatial surveying equipment and training. The procurement does not indicate a specific budget range or award value, leaving room for competitive pricing among qualified vendors. Interested contractors should carefully review the technical specifications of the i83 Complete Base Rover Pair and ensure their ability to provide the required one-day onsite training. Given the specialized nature of the equipment and the training component, vendors with direct experience in surveying technology and professional training delivery will likely be viewed most favorably in the evaluation process.
