The document is a Request for Response (RFR) for attorney services and legal support services issued by the Massachusetts Department of Public Health (MDPH). The RFR seeks to establish multiple legal services contracts to provide a range of legal services, including advice and counsel, representation, litigation support, and other legal services to MDPH. The contract term is for an initial period of 3 years with the option to extend for up to two additional 1-year terms. Responses are due by a specific due date, and a bidder's conference may be held prior to the due date.

The RFR outlines the scope of work, required qualifications, and proposal submission requirements. Pricing is to be provided on a fixed hourly rate basis, with potential set-asides for minority-owned, woman-owned, and veteran-owned businesses. The current legal services are provided by incumbent firms, and the RFR aims to establish new contracts to meet MDPH's ongoing legal support needs. Funding for the contracts will come from MDPH's operating budget, with specific amounts to be determined based on the awarded contracts.
