Wire EDM Machine for TSTC

Texas State Technical College (TSTC) is requesting proposals for the purchase, delivery, and installation of Wire Electrical Discharge Machines (Wire EDM) and compatible transformers under RFP-315, with proposals due March 11, 2026 at 2:00 p.m. CDT. This is an Indefinite Delivery/Indefinite Quantity contract with a one-year base term and four optional one-year renewals; the anticipated value exceeds $100,000, triggering a mandatory Subcontracting Plan submission as a prerequisite for consideration.

The equipment must support the Precision Machining Technology program across all TSTC campuses, specifically for Tool & Die and Mold Design & Maintenance courses including apprenticeship training. Installation and operational status must be achieved by Summer 2026. TSTC reserves the right to award contracts for all or part of requirements, make multiple awards based on best value, or make no award.

Respondents must comply with race- and sex-neutral contracting criteria under Texas Comptroller requirements. Pricing is fixed for the first contract year; any increases during renewal periods require prior written approval from TSTC. All quoted prices must include applicable tariffs, duties, and import fees; respondents commit to not seeking additional compensation for tariff-related changes for a minimum of 60 days from the submission deadline.

Proposals must be submitted through TSTC's Rsolution/Jaggaer procurement platform and must include a signed Execution of Offer and Deviation/Compliance Signature Form. Failure to submit required documentation results in disqualification. If subcontracting is utilized, a Progress Assessment Report form must accompany each invoice. TSTC accepts Electronic Funds Transfers, ACH, wire transfers, virtual cards, and checks. Technical support for platform access is available through Jaggaer at 1-800-233-1121.
