About this file

This is a Commonwealth of Massachusetts Standard Contract Form issued jointly by the Office of the Comptroller, the Executive Office for Administration and Finance, and the Operational Services Division for use by Commonwealth departments in contracting with vendors. The form serves as the default contract template for all state departments when another form is not prescribed by regulation or policy. The document is designed to accommodate multiple procurement types, including statewide contracts, emergency contracts, contract employees, interim contracts with new or current contractors, and other procurement exceptions. The contract establishes that the Commonwealth will provide payment through Electronic Funds Transfer within 45 days from invoice receipt, subject to prompt payment discount options available at 10, 15, 20, or 30 days if the contractor elects accelerated payment terms. The contract incorporates by reference the Standard Contract Form Instructions and Contractor Certifications, applicable Commonwealth Terms and Conditions, and relevant regulations under 815 CMR, establishing a hierarchical document precedence structure.

The form is intended for use with the Skill Training and Employment Pathways (STEP) Program operated by the Massachusetts Office for Refugees and Immigrants, which provides vocational skills training and related support services to refugees and immigrants through collaborative partnerships. The contract form requires specification of maximum obligation amounts for the contract duration or confirmation of rate contract terms with no maximum obligation. The Commonwealth certifies that payments are supported by sufficient appropriations or other non-appropriated funds and subject to intercept for debts owed to the Commonwealth under 815 CMR 9.00. The form mandates that contractors have accessed and reviewed all incorporated documents and make all required certifications under penalty of perjury, with the effective date established as the latest signature date unless a later start date is specified. Contract performance obligations survive termination to permit resolution of claims, completion of warranties, closeout activities, and final payments.
