About this file

This is an evaluation criteria scorecard used by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health for assessing responses to a solicitation for cranberry products (Alternate ID: 27NUTRL7, COMMBUYS Document #: BD-27-1026-DOE02-DOE01-131541). The solicitation requires bidders to supply 100% Massachusetts-grown and harvested cranberries, with products to be warehoused and delivered to state-contracted facilities in compliance with Massachusetts Department of Public Health Regulations 105 CMR 500.00 and 21 CFR Part 110.00. Bidders must meet six mandatory qualifications to proceed in the evaluation process, including possession of adequate warehouse space and vehicles, submission of product specification sheets, proof that products are made from 100% MA-grown cranberries, current Massachusetts operating licenses under Chapter 94 Section 305 C, documented Continuity of Operations Plans with Food Defense and Recall Procedures, and detailed company profiles demonstrating relevant background and experience.

The evaluation methodology employs a 100-point scoring system distributed across five additional criteria with varying multipliers. Bidders are scored on financial resources to sustain operations (25 points), unit cost reasonableness (25 points), contract manageability considering location and delivery logistics (20 points), previous relevant experience and performance history with the Department (20 points), and Massachusetts location preference (10 points). Each criterion uses a five-point rubric ranging from Non-Responsive (0 points) to Outstanding (5 points) before applying the multiplier. The scorecard does not specify pricing terms, contract duration, renewal options, or funding sources in the materials provided.
