About this file
This document presents the Evaluation Criteria for the Massachusetts Veterinary Voucher Program (AGR-MA-Vet-Voucher-Program-FY26) issued by the Operational Services Division (OSD). The program seeks to establish a list of qualified veterinary contractors to provide spay/neuter services for animals through a voucher system. Participating contractors must be actively licensed veterinarians employed by a veterinary clinic, hospital, or shelter within their state of licensure. Contractors are required to provide comprehensive services including initial exams, vaccinations (DHPP/FVRCP and rabies), spay/neuter surgery, anesthesia, pain management, IV fluids, blood tests, and additional medications or supplies as necessary.
The solicitation encourages Small Business Purchasing Program (SBPP) participants to respond, with SBPP participants receiving preferential consideration if they meet the best value criteria. Contractors must be willing to schedule surgeries within 60 days of a voucher recipient's request and maintain open communication with the Mass Animal Fund coordinator. The program's service needs will fluctuate based on local population and client preferences. To be included on the Qualified Contractors List, applicants must demonstrate the ability to perform services to the Department's satisfaction and maintain good standing with the department.
