About this file
This document is a Q&A related to the re-opening of the Massachusetts State Police RFR# SP21-BOOTS-S65 bid for Custom Field Boots. The bid opportunity seeks boots that can be made in 110 days by a vendor with 25 shoemakers in Italy. The bid allows for alternative proposals that provide equivalent, better or more cost-effective performance than the stated specifications, even if the vendor's process does not require or provide a fitting shoe or boot.
The document indicates the bid provides flexibility for vendors whose foot shape acquisition process is performed by the customer in their home, rather than the vendor measuring the client's feet. Pricing terms, set asides, funding requirements, and other salient information are not explicitly provided in this Q&A document.

RFR# SP21-BOOTS-S65
Bid Re-opening February 2024 Questions & Answers
Question:
Our process does not require and does not provide a fitting shoe or boot. The client has the option to choose the type of fitting they want (how snug or how roomy) throughout different areas of the boot. Our boots can be made in 110 days as we have 25 shoemakers working for us in Italy.
According to the way our foot shape acquisition process is performed by the customer in their home by following our detailed instructions instead of us measuring the client's feet, we believe our bid would not be accepted.
Do you think we should continue to pursue this bid?
Answer:
Per the RFR Section 3 Item 3, “bidder will include as part of the bid document a schedule of how they will provide for measurement sessions.”
However, per RFR Section 5, page 12, “bidders may submit Quotes proposing alternatives which provide equivalent, better or more cost-effective performance than achievable under the stated Bid specifications.”
