This document is a blank document template for Evaluation Criteria associated with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection's (MassDEP) Watershed Planning Program (WPP) procurement. The solicitation, identified as DEP-BWR-DWM-RFR-2026-WPP-SLTS-MSA, aims to pre-qualify multiple contractors for specialized environmental laboratory services. The procurement seeks providers for advanced chemical and biological laboratory analyses of environmental samples, including water, sediment, and biological tissue testing, organism identification, and calibration services. The contract opportunity was posted on June 5, 2025, with a response deadline of July 31, 2025.

The procurement emphasizes supplier diversity, requiring bidders to commit to spending at least 1% of contract sales with diverse business enterprises. Evaluation criteria will allocate at least 25% of points to diversity partnership plans, with specific encouragement for minority-owned, women-owned, veteran-owned, and other certified diverse businesses. Small Massachusetts-based businesses with fewer than 50 full-time equivalent employees and gross revenues under $15 million may receive preferential consideration. While the specific contract value is not explicitly stated, the pre-qualification approach suggests multiple vendors may be selected for future task orders, with contractors required to complete mandatory forms including the Standard Contract Form, Electronic Funds Transfer Authorization, and Prompt Pay Discount Form.
