AI Summary
NYSCC at Alfred University requests proposals for a custom electric kiln used to melt wax from molds in metal casting. The kiln is essential for foundry processes to prevent mold damage. Mandatory prebid conference on June 1, 2026, with bids due by July 15, 2026.
NYSCC at Alfred is inviting bids for the dewax kiln which is at the heart of the cast metal process and is an integral piece of equipment for all foundries. Sculptures and patterns are first made of wax, then a mold in either resin bonded sand or ceramic shell is made around the wax to capture the form. The wax must be evacuated by melting it out in a kiln creating a void in the mold before molten metal is poured into it to create the cast metal object/sculpture. It is important to melt out wax from the resin bonded molds and the ceramic shell molds safely and quickly to prevent expansion and cracking of the mold as further explained in the Appendix provided in this document. **Solicitation Type**: RFP - Request for Proposal (Formal) **Source ID**: PU.AG.USA.1962368.C12886701 **Piggyback Contract**: No **Question Acceptance Deadline**: 06/15/2026 03:00 PM EDT **Questions are submitted online**: Yes **Bid Submission Type**: Electronic Bid Submission **Additional Bidding Instructions**: In this envelope, please include your detailed cost proposal as requested in the RFP document. **Owner Organization**: NYSCC at Alfred University **Solicitation Number**: 168016 **Reference Number**: 0000424862 **Pricing**: In attached document **Bid Documents List**: | Item Name | Description | Mandatory | Limited to 1 file | |---|---|---|---| | Bid Documents | Documents defining the proposal | Yes | No | **Bid Documents List**: | Item Name | Description | Mandatory | Limited to 1 file | |---|---|---|---| | Bid Documents | Documents defining the proposal | Yes | No | **Pre-Bidding Events**: Event Type: Prebid Conference | Attendance: Mandatory | Event date: 06/01/2026 01:00 PM EDT | Location: Meeting will be held via Zoom | Event Note: Please request link to meeting by emailing rfp@alfred.edu no later than Thursday, May 28, 2026, 12pm EDT **Line Items**: | No | Description | UOM | Qty | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | Custom Wax Flash Out Electric Car Kiln Brand Preference All Brands are acceptable | Unit | 1 |
