Bidders Question and Answer Document.docx

This document is a Questions and Answers document related to a Request for Response (RFR) issued by the Massachusetts Department of Correction for Vending Machine Operations. The RFR solicited proposals from qualified vendors to provide vending machine services at various Department of Correction facilities. Attendance at the Bidders Conference on May 24, 2017 was highly recommended, but not mandatory, for prospective bidders. The RFR did not provide a specific deadline for proposal submissions, but stated that proposals could be submitted by any interested vendors that did not attend the Bidders Conference.

The document confirms that the RFR did not mandate attendance at the Bidders Conference, and that prospective bidders who did not attend the May 24th meeting could still submit proposals in response to the RFR. No other details are provided regarding pricing, set asides, incumbent vendors, funding sources, or contract term and renewal options.
