Agency buyers are cautioned to check MMARS before making any purchases from VEH120 to ensure the chosen vendor has an active contract. Buyers from other eligible entities should check the Master Blanket Purchase Order (MBPO) in COMMBUYS prior to purchasing from VEH120.

All vendors will be activated as soon as their contracts have been executed; please monitor COMMBUYS and MMARS for contract updates.
OSD reminds all buyers that purchases from Statewide Contracts should be conducted through vendor contracts that are active in MMARS and/or COMMBUYS. OSD also reminds buyers to pay close attention to the expiration dates of the Statewide Contracts being used. The expiration dates may be found on the first page of the Contract User Guides (https://www.mass.gov/service-details/find-a-statewide-contract-user-guide).
