Mobile Training Lab for Advanced Manufacturing and Industrial Maintenance at TSTC

Texas State Technical College (TSTC) is soliciting proposals for a turn-key, custom-built 53-foot mobile training lab designed to support workforce training in advanced manufacturing and industrial maintenance. Funded by an Economic Development Administration grant, this mobile unit will provide approximately 807 square feet of usable space with an 8-foot interior ceiling height and expandable configurations to deliver on-site training at company and partner locations. The scope of work encompasses the entire lifecycle of the project, including design services, fabrication, installation of training equipment, and final delivery. Additionally, the supplier must provide access to comprehensive instructional materials, including lesson plans, lab activities, and software-based learning content. The selected supplier must ensure the unit is fully DOT compliant and equipped with necessary safety features and utility power infrastructure for all installed equipment. Proposals will be evaluated based on the technical design of the mobile unit, supplier qualifications and relevant experience in custom fabrication, the project management plan, and the overall cost structure. Key requirements include a detailed project schedule from award to final delivery, a robust quality control process, and a comprehensive warranty for the fabrication and installed systems. All proposals must be submitted exclusively through the TSTC Strategic Sourcing portal by the December 4, 2026, deadline.
