This document is a Scope of Work for a public health care services capacity enhancement project in the state of Massachusetts. The project is being overseen by the state government and seeks to expand the capacity and capabilities of public health care services within the state. The scope includes increasing staffing and training, enhancing equipment and infrastructure, and improving coordination and data sharing across health care providers. The project has a total budget of $12.5 million and proposals are due by June 30, 2023, with a planned contract award by August 1, 2023. The initial contract term is for 3 years with the option to renew for up to 2 additional 1-year terms.

Pricing will be based on a cost reimbursement model with predetermined rates for labor, equipment, and other direct costs. The state has set aside 20% of the total budget for small and disadvantaged business enterprises. The current incumbent provider has been delivering these services for the past 5 years. Funding will be provided by a combination of state appropriations and federal grant monies from the Department of Health and Human Services. Applicants must demonstrate experience providing similar services and have the capacity to quickly scale up operations to meet the state's needs.
