From the meeting
At its August 31, 2026 meeting, the board approved a sole-source purchase of a Universal Robot and supplemental equipment for the IET program. The vendor is Advanced Technologies Consultants of Northville, MI, and the amount is $47,818. The purchase is funded 75% by Enhancement Grant funds and 25% by institutional funds.
The item is for curriculum support and hands-on robotics training, so the likely follow-on is deployment, training, and related lab integration.

Questions about this project
What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
When will East Central College issue an RFP for this project?
Pre-RFPs typically surface 6–18 months before a formal solicitation is published. Civic IQ tracks East Central College's meeting records, agendas, and budgets continuously and updates this pre-RFP as the project moves through the buying cycle toward an RFP.
