So I found something interesting with the random encounter NPC The Scribe.

If you recruit him as a settler, he becomes a unique armor merchant who can trade at any time — no need for a vendor stand.

Using console commands:

callfunction "Actor.Switch ToPowerArmor" ff02465e

(Where ff02465e is the ID of the specific power armor set I prepared. Yours will likely be different — you can get it by clicking directly on the armor in the console.)

You also need The Scribe’s reference ID, which you get by clicking on him in the console so it shows on screen.

Normally, he exits power armor when idle, but there’s a workaround.

If you assign him as a guard, he stays in position and also keeps the power armor equipped.
