This document contains responses to additional questions regarding the Request for Responses (RFR) for the COVID-19 Mobile Surveillance Testing Program (MSTP) issued by the Executive Office of Health and Human Services (EOHHS) in Massachusetts. The MSTP aims to deploy mobile testing teams to perform testing in easy-to-access community settings, state-operated facilities, and congregate care settings. The RFR states that contractors will only be paid for services provided at EOHHS-authorized sites and that the payment model described in the RFR and the Model Contract is not flexible or open for negotiation.
The payment rates are fixed as outlined in the Model Contract, and contractors will not be able to propose alternative payment models. EOHHS will only pay contractors for MSTP services performed at authorized sites as directed by EOHHS, and any testing done at other sites is not eligible for payment under this contract.
