133827 - Copy of TAP Scorecard.xlsx

This is a scoring workbook for the Massachusetts state procurement system (COMMBUYS) related to the MassAbility Transition to Adulthood Program (TAP) for the 2026 North Shore/Cape Ann and Southeastern Massachusetts regions, managed under Bid BD-27-1071-AO-CON01-133827. The document establishes evaluation criteria and scoring methodologies for the RFR/RFQ process. Bidders must achieve a minimum qualifying score of 60 points to be considered. The procurement is valued above $250,000, requiring all bidders to submit a Supplier Diversity Plan as part of their proposal. The evaluation framework utilizes a standardized workbook with automated calculations to ensure consistency across all bidder scorecards. Scoring is conducted on a 5-point scale for all evaluation criteria, with no partial or half-points permitted.

The scoring structure allocates 75 points to the Program/Business Response and an additional 25 points for the Supplier Diversity Plan component, totaling 100 points for all responses. Weight multipliers are applied to certain criteria to reflect their relative importance, with all weights to be established and locked prior to RFR release. The Massachusetts Office of the Comptroller (OFMB) assigns a member to score the Supplier Diversity Plans on a separate scoring sheet, with these scores subsequently incorporated into the final Score Tabulation worksheet. While the Small Business Purchasing Program does not apply to procurements exceeding $250,000, the evaluation process emphasizes supplier diversity and equity considerations in accordance with Massachusetts purchasing directives. The minimum qualifying threshold of 60 points ensures that only substantially responsive bidders advance in the competitive process.
