83200 - 53ft Mobile Welding Lab

Gwinnett Technical College is seeking a single qualified supplier to provide a complete turn-key 53-foot Mobile Welding Certification Classroom through a one-time purchase under solicitation number 83200-eRFQ-001806-2027, with responses due by July 24, 2026. The procurement requires the supplier to deliver a fully equipped mobile classroom including welding booths, exhaust systems, and all necessary equipment, as detailed in the provided Welding Lab Specifications and Floor Plan documents. A certified welding inspector must be assigned to oversee the project and serve as the primary point of contact for the college. All bidders must be licensed to conduct business in Georgia and have at least five years of documented experience providing and installing similar welding booths, exhaust systems, and related equipment. Proposals must include a business license, three client references using the official reference sheet, visual documentation of prior similar projects, and a resume or bio of the designated certified welding inspector. Compliance with Georgia state laws is mandatory and includes registration in the federal work authorization program, submission of the Contractor Affidavit under O.C.G.A. 13-10-91, and completion of the Sales and Use Tax Compliance Form. Suppliers must also disclose whether they are a scrutinized company conducting business in Sudan involving power, mineral, oil, or military equipment production, as false certification could lead to civil penalties, contract termination, and a three-year ban from state contracting. Additionally, bidders must certify their business status as a small, minority-owned, women-owned, or veteran-owned business if applicable, and disclose any history of suspension or debarment from government contracts. Georgia-based suppliers may receive a preference under the Reciprocal Preference Law O.C.G.A. 50-50(b), matching preferences granted by other states to Georgia companies. Failure to meet any of the pass/fail gates—including licensing, experience, technical capability, and immigration compliance—will render a proposal ineligible for award. The place of performance is the state of Georgia, though delivery timelines, payment terms, and contract value are not specified in the solicitation materials.
