This document is a Request for Response (RFR) Checklist from the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), Division of Watershed Management (DWM), Watershed Planning Program (WPP) for Analytical Laboratory Services. The RFR seeks to establish a list of pre-qualified analytical laboratory firms to provide MassDEP with analyses of environmental samples on a project-by-project basis during the contract term. The RFR includes mandatory submission requirements such as a Bidder Response Form, Statement of Qualifications, Business Reference Form, Disadvantaged Minority/Woman Business Enterprise Statement of Intent, and other standard Commonwealth of Massachusetts forms. Responses to this RFR are due by a specified date, and the resulting contract will be awarded for an initial term with the possibility of renewal options.

The RFR does not provide specific details on pricing terms, set-asides, incumbent contractors, funding requirements or sources, or other salient financial information. The focus of the document is on the administrative and technical submission requirements for prospective bidders interested in providing analytical laboratory services to the MassDEP on an as-needed basis.
