About this file

This file contains FY2027 non-discretionary earmarks for the Massachusetts Department of Fire Services, authorized under GAA Acts of 2026, Chapter 137. The earmarks support fire departments, fire service organizations, and public safety agencies across Massachusetts through targeted funding allocations. The funding addresses diverse operational and capital needs including equipment purchases, facility improvements, training programs, personnel costs, vehicle replacements, communications system upgrades, and community safety initiatives. No specific response dates, due dates, site visits, bidders' conferences, or award dates are specified in the document. The earmarks represent appropriations already authorized and awarded through legislative action rather than competitive procurement opportunities.

The total authorized funding across all earmarks is $3,761,000 under line item 8324-0050, with an additional $3,800,000 allocated under line item 8324-0000, bringing the total to approximately $7,561,000. Notable large allocations include $500,000 to the New Bedford Fire Department for personnel costs and Fire Station 9 operations, $1,700,000 to the Boston Fire Department Training Academy, and $2,000,000 to the On-Site Academy for critical incident stress management services. Individual fire departments and municipalities receive amounts ranging from $15,000 to $150,000, with funding designated for specific purposes such as equipment purchases, communications infrastructure, training programs, facility renovations, and specialized services. These are non-discretionary appropriations with minimum expenditure requirements rather than competitive bid awards, funded through state appropriations.
