Attachment B - Contact Form~1.docx

This is a General Information Form attachment for a Request for Response (RFR) issued by the Massachusetts Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) to support high-quality instructional materials (HQIM) implementation through ELA/Literacy Communities of Practice. The form is designed to be completed and uploaded by prospective vendors through the COMMBUYS procurement system. Vendors must provide organizational details including their name, vendor code, and complete address. The form requires identification of an authorized signatory—the individual or individuals with legal authority to sign documents on behalf of the organization—along with their title, phone number, and email address. Additionally, vendors must designate a contact person who can answer substantive questions about the submission if different from the authorized signatory, and if applicable, identify a local representative who would serve as the primary point of contact for work conducted with DESE and school districts.

The form does not contain specific pricing terms, set-asides, or funding information. Rather, it serves as a procedural requirement for vendor qualification and communication purposes during the procurement process. The RFR itself is covered under World Trade Organization (WTO) regulations. Vendors responding to this opportunity should complete all required contact information fields and ensure accurate representation of their organization's authorized personnel to facilitate contract execution and ongoing project coordination with DESE and participating school districts implementing curriculum-specific instructional materials from providers including CKLA/Amplify, EL Education, and Wit & Wisdom in grades K-8.
