Description
Piedmont Technical College in Greenwood, SC intends to purchase three pieces of HAAS CNC equipment—a ST‑10Y CNC lathe and two VMC Mini Mill‑EDU units—to expand its existing CNC training lab, which already houses 25 HAAS simulators. Because the college’s curriculum and faculty are standardized on HAAS controls, the agency has justified a sole‑source award to HAAS Factory Outlet, the only authorized distributor for the region. The procurement covers supply, delivery, and standard installation of the machines; no additional services such as custom integration or training are specified.
• Equipment: 1 HAAS ST‑10Y CNC Lathe, 2 HAAS VMC Mini Mill‑EDU units.
• Reason for sole source: Compatibility with existing HAAS simulators and exclusive regional distribution rights.
• Vendor: HAAS Factory Outlet (Colfax, NC), the sole authorized distributor for SC and surrounding states.
• Key dates: Notice posted 11/22/2019; questions due 12/4/2019. No public bid deadline or award date disclosed.
