Description
Piedmont Technical College in Greenwood, SC, is issuing a sole‑source procurement notice for a single FESTO brand mechanical training system (46100 series) to support its Mechatronics curriculum. The scope includes the hardware learning system (Level 1 & Level 2), a dedicated workbench, an integrated workstation package, and campus‑wide curriculum licenses for both levels. The college justifies the sole‑source approach because FESTO is the exclusive worldwide producer of this Didactic product line and Carolina Training Associates is the only authorized distributor in South Carolina. The estimated contract value is between $25,001 and $49,999, with a submission deadline of December 19 2025. Interested alternate vendors may submit expressions of interest by that date; otherwise the college will award the contract to the sole‑source vendor.
• Procurement of one complete FESTO Mechanical Training System (hardware + software licenses).
• Sole‑source justification based on exclusivity of manufacturer and distributor.
• Estimated spend under $50 k, with a 7‑day response window for alternate offers.
• Primary contact: Procurement Officer Brian K. McKenna ([email protected]).
• No pre‑bid meeting, site visit, or question‑submission deadline noted.
