About this file
This document is a set of Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) about the Supplier Diversity Program (SDP) Form for a state and local contract opportunity. The SDP form is required as part of the bid submission process for the RFR 221931 Courier Services contract in Massachusetts. The form requires bidders to commit to a percentage of their contract value that will be spent with Supplier Diversity Office (SDO) certified vendors, though there is no minimum or maximum percentage required. The SDP plan is worth 10% of the total proposal review score, but the actual percentage committed does not affect the points awarded as long as it is greater than 0%. Existing contractors under a master agreement do not need to submit a new SDP plan, and the percentage commitment does not have to be specific to the current contract.
The pricing and funding for this contract opportunity are not detailed in the FAQs. However, the document indicates that this is an RFR (Request for Response) for courier services in the state of Massachusetts, with an unknown contract term and renewal options.

Q: SDP language in the RFR document states that The SDP plan counts for 10% of the total proposal review score. Does the percentage of commitment affect the points given?
