About this file
This is an Equitable Procurement Compliance and Assistance form submitted by Boston Public Schools (BPS) to the City of Boston's Office of Economic Development (OED) regarding a robotics equipment procurement. BPS seeks to purchase robotics and automation instructional equipment for the Robotics and Automation Technology program at Madison Park Technical Vocational High School to prepare students for postsecondary careers in the robotics and automation industry. The procurement is categorized under UNSPSC code 60100000 (Teaching Aids - Kits, Accessories, Supplies) with an estimated value of $50,000 or more. The anticipated procurement issuance and award date is September 1, 2026, with bidding conducted online through BAIS Bid Event ID BPS123.
The submitter, Latoya Sweeney from Boston Public Schools, conducted a search of the certified vendor directory but was unable to identify suitable vendors capable of providing all required materials, equipment, and program support. OED subsequently attempted to locate a certified vendor but was also unsuccessful in finding an appropriate provider. The form was signed and submitted on August 20, 2026, with OED providing its response on September 2, 2026, through Kameron Jimenez-Fox. Given the inability to identify certified vendors meeting the procurement requirements, BPS is proceeding with a non-set-aside procurement process.
